xylene also will work without damaging the paint or even the wax. It will also take off overspray, glue from decals. Its a great product, should always have some around the house.

How do you clean sap off your car?

Sap should come off easily be cleaned off with mineral turpentine, engine degreaser and sometimes methylated spirits. If the sap is hard try scraping it with your nail. If you do use one of these, wash the area off afterwards as there are some products that, if left on for long, may damage the paintwork. If you've mistaken tar with sap the tar should come off with eucalyptus oil or one of the above. There are car parts sellers that you could ask and they will probably have a product that leans off sap and tar.
