Default Removing sap without removing wax

I just zanio'd my car sunday and know there's little drops of sap all over it. I just washed it but that did not remove all of them. How can i get rid of them with out removing the zanio with it?

you can't... Just remove them, then rewax those spots.

What about just trying Z6? I don't think that will take the polish off.

I tried Z6 but it worked about as well as the wash and then i had little fibers from my microfiber towel stuck to the sap. I'm sure if i rub hard enough they will come off but i don't want and more scrathes or swirl marks than I have. I guess it does't matter much now since its about to rain for a couple days here in FL so i'll have water spots everywhere anyways.

These happens on my Chevelle. I just mist the car and dry it off with a towel. I know it sounds like it wouldn't work, but if the sap is fresh and on top of a fresh coat of zaino, the sap should just wipe right off. The zaino provides a layer in between the sap and the paint so that the sap has nothing to stick to. Good luck.

Btw... beautiful car!

Well looks like you might have to get out the WD-40. Try using Q-tips. You'll then have to repolish though.
