Try this one, works everytime. Carefully mix together the same amounts of Mustard, Ketchup and Mayonaise. Then get a well done hamburger with a piece of melted cheese and lots of lettuce. Put it between to buns, lightly toasted to a golden brown and make a yourself a nice sandwich. Then....while you're eating you're sandwich, spray WD-40 on the sap, it'll then come right off.

I have a friend that owns a body shop, he gave me some stuff that cost over $100 a gallon. Sap comes off with one wipe and does not harm the finish.
