Default How to Remove Tree Sap

I have 3-4 spots of tree sap(i think thats what it is) on my car and i was just wondering if anybody knew the best way to remove it. I've tried everything and it sticks like super glue and i don't want to ruin the paint of my car by trying to force it off.

Have you tried tar and bug remover? Turtle wax makes a spray on for cars.

What you do is get a screwdriver, wet the screw driver with water so you dont damage the paint, get a hammer, place screwdriver directly in front of the sap drop, then BANG THAT **** LIKE A CHISSELl lol.....

Dont actually do that

Exactly what I was going to refer. If that doesn't take it off, it is probably etched into the clear.

True! I can't believe I didn't think of that...especially since I was amazed at how much crap came off my cars paint, when I clayed it a month ago.
