Remove Tree Sap from Car Paint

IRJ

I bought one of my employer's REPOs yesterday and the car is in pretty good shape overall. However, I noticed that there is tree sap in various places on the body. The sap has been sitting a while, but I can work it off with my fingernail so I know it will come off.

I am looking for a cleaning product that is safe on auto paint and preferably some type of natural cleaner.

Try hot white Vinegar. Place a rag on the spot and soak with hot vinegar...

The other option is WD40 but that can dull the paint.

How hot should the Vinegar be?

like a fresh cup of coffee hot...

any light distillate will work, you could even try gasoline. they make "bug off" that would more than likely work as well.
