Use WD-40.
Rubbing Alcohol works well, especially on glass. If used on paint area will need to be waxed after cleaning.
Take a dryer sheet (Bounce, etc) moisten and rub…Works wonders!

How to remove bugs from your car and your bumper.
Take a fabric softening dryer sheet,wet it and rub. It has never affected the paint finish and has removed all types of bugs.
Methyl hydrate. cheap, easy, It’s what the pros use, but it does strip off the wax.
For Sap use very cold water when you wash your car along with your favorite auto wash detergent. Cold water causes the sap to release from clear coat and wax and will not wash away the wax. Never use hot water. For stubborn spots, bugs and tar use Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover on a microfiber cloth; rub gently; will not harm clear coat.
I have used non-acetone fingernail polish remover very successfully this summer. It will remove the wax from the spot you clean so buy a one step waxer in a sprayer. Just spray the spot you cleaned and buff when it is dry.

I’m confused. I have used the polish remover but gave up without success. Are you saying remove the sap AND the wax together at the same time? As in the sap sticks to the wax and the wax is removed from the surface? Maybe all works different here in Austin, TX.
Come back to me at ultraflash2 at sbcglobal dot net if you would like.
Thanks!!

Mayonaisse works well and it will not strip the wax or harm the paint.
Don Beaber – You need to rub the fingernail polish remover over the sap until it has all released. You can’t just let it sit and soak. Then wax.

The best way I have found that take it off quickly with no residue is hand sanitizer. A little on a clean cloth will do.
