Re: Sappy paint
Definitely be careful with your matte graphics. I wouldn't want to rub on them with anything other than microfiber. Once they get scratched there is no option to polish or correct a sticker.

Re: Sappy paint
I appreciate all of the help. I am a car guy too. However, I'm not much of a tech guy. I'll have to figure out how to get photos in here, advice on that would be helpful.
Cars:
2006 Dodge Charger Daytona, Red w/matte black graphics
2001 Mercedes CLK 430 Cabriolet Designo Edition, Metallic Espresso Brown (looks black), Saddle leather (1 of 200)
2013 Range Rover Sport (V8), Champagne metallic
2009 Aston Martin DB9 Convertible, Silver w/Saddle leather
2016 Jaguar F-TYPE (6 speed manual), Red w/black gloss graphics & wheels

Re: Sappy paint
*not recommended for beginners or those with shakey hands* If it's hardened on there, and the above doesn't work (or work fast enough) you can use a razor blade to carefully chop the head of the sap spot off. I usually do this even before attempting anything because it will cut down on how much you have to rub on the paint. This will allow the chemical to penetrate deeper as well. I'll usually use a little bit of megs 85 compound on a microfiber rag and go over the area before using an all in one polish / wax over the area to remove any marring. I've adapted this method from painting. Painters will use a razor blade to cut down runs to a sand-able level.
