How do you get Tree Sap off?

Any advice? A pressure washer couldn't even get it off.

Clay bar should do the trick with ease.

Give the car a good cleaning and then hit it with the clay bar. It will remove any and all tree sap if used correctly.

How about if it is on glass? I should have added that to the first post. I have it on the glass too.

Thanks.

Purell hand sanitizer works great. I had tons of sap get on my car after parking it under some trees one night. Just put a tiny dot on the sap and you can remove it with a paper towel. I used a wet paper towel afterwords to clean off the area. You might want to rewax that area after its cleaned too.
