Now I have pitch on the windows and paint. Any help on the best method for removing it with messing up my ride. 
that has worked for me before.

Try something first, before you go to heavy-duty solvents to remove pine pitch. Just try using a paper towel with plain water and wiping the glass with it to see if the "pitch" might come off. Oftentimes what is mistaken for pitch is actually a waste secretion given off by some insects that are feeding in the tree, and this waste secretion (called 'honeydew') is actually sugar water, which is water soluble. Try that first, and you just might not have to use organic solvents -- just a regular car wash.
If a water-soaked paper towel won't take it off, then it probably is actual pine pitch (was the tree pruned recently, and "bleeding" pitch?). In that case, you'll need tar remover or some of the other suggestions already offered. Good luck!

If the finish has a good coat of polish to protect it, giving it a bath with high quality car wash should remove it. The idea is to soak it and let it dissolve, and rinse free of the surface.

I was gonna say WD 40 but Entovetter (above) is right, dont assume the worst ;-).
Hot water and car soap will remove a lotta things. A bucket of hot water is easey, but cools off fast when you put it on the car. As an alternative you may want to try getting another hose and connect it to where ever your washing machine is hooked up on the hot side (not many hot water taps in a regular house that accept a hose fitting), and let that run on it a bit.
Good luck.
PS never knew about the "Bounce" sheets either, great info

LOL!!! That reminds me of the time I had 4 pine trees removed from my manicured lawn because the squirrels kept tearing the pine cones apart and dropping the pieces on top of my beautiful lawn. I couldn't get rid of the squirrels in a legal and humane manner, so I opted to remove the trees, to the tune of $750...problem solved, no more squirrels.
In this case here, the best thing to remember, is never park under or near a tree, EVER! Here in Alabama, you can get doused by a tree 12 months out of the year. Hell, my Hummer got doused in December when I parked under a tree at a Christmas party. As for removing the sticky crap, you only need to hose it off, use a very wet rag or simply detailer. I would never use anything else other than one of those methods. Being as **** as I am and living in Alabama, I have been there and done that too many times not to know the easiest and simplest method to make the finish slick again. Moral of this story...Never trust a tree! Have a great Vette day!

pine tar
my son got it on his car and didn't try to get it off right away. BIG MISTAKE Tried very hot water with soap and it helped, but wouldn't get it all. Ended up taking it to a bodyshop where they polished it off for under 50 bucks, Son paid for that. He won't park there again.
