Tree sap

What can I use to remove little bits of tree sap that have been on my car for quite a while. My car stayed at home when I went to school, and my parents did NOT take care of it the way it shouldve been treated. Im a little pissed about that, but nothin I can do now. Anyways, the car is always parked under a tree, but I usually wash it enough so that any sap never has a chance to build up or do any damage. However, they only washed it a few times, so there is quite a bit of sap that has been left on the car. What can I use to get rid of it?

You can probably wax them off. Put some wax on a towel and use you finger to put some pressure on the spot and keep rubbing in a circular motion untill it's gone. Use a cotton cloth.

For the big glops of tree sap I use Bug and Tar Remover.

Well, bug and tar remover doesnt help that much once that stuff has hardened and the clay bar doesnt remove the big honking ones that have been on there forever and are hard as hell. Im thinking rubbing alcohol or something stronger?
