GtoRA2 me and my dad restore old cars,,,and we have ran into tree sap many times,,,bug and tar will not help too much<~~been there done that,,lol,,it doesnt even soften it up much if there is alot of sap on your rig,,lol,,but you can try a few coats of it,,incass the tar isnt that bad,,but if its hard as a rock and big spots,,you in trouble,,lol<~~only thing we figured out that works so far on that,,is about 5 freinds to pick each peice of tar off with there fingernails or somthing like a guitar pick,,,you will scratch your finish if your carefull,,,then buff it out with a wax buffer after you think you got it cleared

try alcohall,,,water wont help too much but best to let the sap soak in soap or bug and tar<~~sap is a cars worst nightmare,,i never seen one thing that would work besides the old fingernail soap and a lot of freinds,,lol

I use Zaino products on my F-350 Crew. The Z-18 clay bar pretty much gets rid of anything in the paint. I used the clay bar to remove rail (metallic) dust and tree sap.

Dawn blue
Z-18 clay bar
Z-5 or Z-2 polishes
Z-6 gloss enhancer for touchups

The most time-consuming part of the job is the clay bar. The rest goes quickly. I reapply about every six months (Spring and Fall).

My wife's car goes to the car wash for tree sap. I occasionally use the "hot wax" (if I don't run out of quarters first).
