To remove the tree sap from your vehicle's surface, you can use finger nail polish remover on a cotton ball. After the sap is removed, make a paste of water and baking soda to wash the affected area, then apply wax.

Another method to remove the sap is to use mineral sprits (it will also remove tar). Use a soft, terry towel, or wash cloth dampened with mineral sprits. After removal, wash the car and apply wax to the affected area.

Tree sap can also be removed by using a water-soluble paint brush cleaner. A common household solution is bacon grease or lard. Just rub it on, and off comes the sap. To get tree sap off of your hands, simply rub mayonnaise on them and wash it off. To remove tree sap and other substances, you can use common solvents like lighter fluid, rubbing alcohol, WD-40 or even Skin-So-Soft bath oil

I'd say Dawn, but it's been reformulated and doesn't work as well these days....

Goop Off? Or whatever the name of that little can is.

For the windshied, perhaps a plastic scraper? I don't know about the painted part tho? Perhaps a Qtip and some non-acetone nail polish remover?

That gave me an idea. What about holding an ice cube on it til it gets really hard? Oh wait, y'all are hot as hell right now aren't ya? It would melt before it did any good. Oh well....

Really really really hot water and regular dish soap. Did I mention really hot water? Try to keep from using chemicals. They may alter the look of your clear coat finish.
