    I had paint splatters on the lower panels behind the front wheels, someone on the board (Twinkride101 & Bill) suggested Paint Thinner. It worked great. Don't know if it would work for the tree sap, but maybe.

    Good luck!

    My sister had this problem, and it was pretty much dried. I just clay barred the area, and it worked great!

    I just cannot suggest paint thinner for your problem. FOr sap, 3M Adhesive Remover will more than take care of it. Or you can clay it off.

    Bug Squash for recent sap. Tarminator and 3M Wax/Adhesive Remover for the older stuff.

    Are you referring to Stoner Tarminator?
