tree sap
Checking to see if anyone out there knows a quick / efficient way to get tree sap off of a painted surface? It's been on car 4-5 days now
I read some things on google/ questions, but figured I'd check here. Thanks in advance

User your fingers to pick out as much as possible, then use Goo-Gone, then for any tiny remaining bits use an abrasive like Scratch X and put in some force to rub it off.

I have used rubbing alcohol with good success. Just put some on a rag then hold the rag down on the sap for a bit.

I hear the turtle wax bug and tar remover works pretty good too. Just whatever you use, be patient, melt it away slowly.
