Tree sap can be tricky depending on the type of sap and how long its been on the paint.





First, I try mineral spirits or something like WD40. Other ideas are 3M adhesive remover, Goo Gone, Goof Off, or other similar product.





IF the sap droplets are very small and hardened, paint detailing clay will take it off.





If the car is covered in a fine mist of sap, I wash it with a citrus-based cleaner sprayed all over the car, then washed with car wash shampoo.





One of these techniques should work for you, depending on the sap problem.
';No. 7 Car Wash';. That's the entire product name. Use a plastic-bristle-brush to help motivate things along.





3M also makes a goo-gone style product.
Try diesel fuel, kerosene, or go to an auro supply store and see if they a cleaner for that.
WD-40 works everytime for me.
