Can anyone help me with this? The neighbors pine tree and the wind got some on my paint. How can I safely remove this without damaging the paint on the car? Thanks in advance!

turtle wax makes something especially for cleaning sap and tar off of paint. idk what its called, but ive got some and it works great.

There are lots of products made for this.

WD-40 and a microfiber cloth work really well if it is totally drenched. But that method requires a thorough soaping and re-waxing after you are done. The WD-40 will not harm the paint in any way but it will strip your wax.

Also works great on tar - it's one of the best ways to get rid of tar.

An old pair of pantyhose also work well as a scrubber, as absurd as it sounds.

I remember when I would park under trees, boy did I HATE that. Anyway Tree sap is a PITA especially is you have a lot of it sprinkled all over your car. I usually used rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle with a towel to get it off, or tar remover. If that didnt get it all off Id follow it up with a thorough clay barring.

I suggest first WD-40. Then Bug&Tar. Then Claybar. If it's still there, a medium polish by hand.

You don't really want to polish with contaminants on your paint, but I found for lots of little sap all over my car it was the only way to get all of it off.

Any Bug and Tar Remover and then Clay Bar it.

I've found the quickest way to get sap off is diluted rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Spray, let soak, rub with microfiber, repeat as necessary
