Bug and tar remover and some waxes will also work. Good luck.

One of the best products I've used is Turtle Bug & Tar remover in the spray bottle.

Just ordinary adhesive remover is the best thing I've always used. It's cheaper than the 'designer' removers and does the same job w/out damaging paint. For the windsheild just use a bunch of your window cleaner inside fine steel wool, bye-bye sap... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I thought i was on the paint...if its on the window, try rubbing alcohol, like the pads...some kid put gum on my driver side window, (****** rat bastard), and i took it off with rubbing alcohol pads.
