Always so careful about things like this.

I was at the gas station, while pumping I glance at my car in the sun. To my surprise I noticed light swirls on the paint and I guess it is tree sap on the hood and top of the car. I tried to buff the sap off but it wouldn't come off. I am always so careful about this 2 buckets, grit guards and everything. I did switch to a drying towel recently. Before I used my leaf blower.

Swirls happen no matter how careful you are. You slowed them down though!!!

Imaging how many swirls you would have if you didn't take the proper precautions.

Clay should work. Try it 1st. If that doesnt work step up to tar remover, mineral spirits, or reduced alcohol, those should work as well.
