Friggin Tree Sap!

Need some help here. I have a Phantom Black A4. I noticed last night small pin head sized tree sap. I never noticed it before but I think it happened while I parked under the trees to eat lunch and avoid the sun. Anyways, the Sh__ won't come off. I of coarse tried to get it off with my finger nails but this stuff seams to have dried very quickly. Last night I used a clay bar on one section and did nothing. I don't want to use an abrasive. I;ve went to other websites and they recommend manyonase, miniral spirits, nail polish remover. Do any of you have any non-harsh suggestions. ...Today i got out to lunch and see that the sun must be drying / harding them up because now they have white heads. Son of a ____!.

Have you used any "wipe & shine" type of product. I go through a bottle a week it seems.
I use it in conjunction with a clay bar if stuff is bad enough. Otherwise, simply spraying it on, wiping it to a nice shine (kinda like buffing) should remove it.
I'm constantly removing tree sap from mine.
I use Eagle One's "wipe & shine" and use Mother's version if it's not available. Meguiars also makes it but I find that it doesn't like to disperse, spread and wipe to a shine as quickly as the others.
They also go by "quick detailers" or "show shiner".

You need something with alcohol in it. My detailer uses rain-x to get tree sap off. Once you take it off with the rain-x then go back over the area with your wax to seal the paint back up!
