Default Pine Sap!!!
Ok. It's time to call on the experts. I have a couple of gobs of pine sap on the car. I need your advice on how to get it off.

Thanks for your help!

for sap in general I normally use Poorboys Bug Squash or Stoners Tarminator. I spray a rag well, cover the sap and allow to sit for a couple minutes saturating the spot. Usually wipes off shortly afterwards. I reapply wax or sealant in general area especially when using Tarminator.

spray the sap with wd-40 let it sit for 5 minutes and wipe it off, should do the trick.

WD-40 may or may not work.
Tarminator will.

Wurth Clean Solve may also work...

Use a hair dryer to soften the sap. 80% should wipe off then use WD40 for the remaining. Good luck

I used the WD 40 yesterday after reading this, since my hood has pine sap on it. Worked for me. Thanks..

Isopropyl Alcohol has always worked very well for me.
