Default Tree Sap???

Big old glob of pine tree sap right in middle of shiny black hood? Any clues on how to remove without also taking off any of the bazillion layers of Zaino? Got if off yeserday with careful rubbing/buffing but has to be an easier way...maybe not.

Thanks

Any time I get tree sap, it comes off with a car wash. If not, a light claying will do the trick.

FWIW, you don't have a bazillion layers of anything on your car. Most likely only a few layers...

Well, yeah...maybe a SLIGHT exageration... Black cars lead to early delusion.

My only point was that wax and sealants diminish constantly. Even though you may have applied tons of coats, there are only a few layers on your vehicle at any time.
