Tree sap

Well I was stupid 2 weeks ago to park my car under a pine tree and now there a few sap spots on my paint and my windshield. Does anyone know how to get it off or what works best?

I am assuming you have already tried to wash it off with car wash and warm water, so try a clay bar...

Another vote for claying. An additional suggestion would be to use a car shampoo/water soultion ( 1-2 caps per 16 oz distilled H2O) as the lube instead of a QD. If it is sap this will cure your problem.

Gasoline works great for removing tree sap/ road tar/ other hard to remove sticky substances from glass and painted surfaces. Just be sure to wash it off the paint after you remove the sap.
