Best thing to use to remove sap?
Well I got this clear pine sap on my car. Now that it has dried its white and everyones asking where I got the scratches on my hood from lol. I need to get this crap off this weekend and invest in a cover...Whats the best thing to use...I dont think soap and waters going to cut it. I know a few things but im not sure they'll be safe on the paint.

I'd use bug and tar remover, followed by a clay bar, and then finish up with a good quality wax.

Hot/warm soapy water. soak a towel with it and let it sit on the sap. it will soften up and then you'll be able to wipe it off. You may have to re-soak the towel a few times.

denatured (rubbing) alcohol. my car was covered when i got it. it softens the sap up almost instantly, little rubbing and its gone.

+2. I was gonna say the same thing! My driveway is under a pinetree so I'm always having to use hot soapy water on my car.
