Tree Sap - What will remove it?
I was parked underneath a tree this weekend that decided to leave me about 10 nice little drops of sap on the roof/windshield of my car. Anyone have any suggestions on how to go about removing it?
Thanks.

I'll say this for probably the umpteenth time, hopefully some here aren't sick of hearing it...
Sap is used to make shellac.
What thins/dilutes shellac?
Denatured alcohol.
Isopropyl will also work well. A soft cotton cloth or microfiber with gentle pressure is all that's needed, the alcohol will dissolve it quickly.
You'll see a white haze after the sap dissolves, which is the sap itself after breaking down, just use a cleaner wax or polish to remove it.
Be careful with clay because the sap may break off and cause scratching if you're not lubricated enough, or careful enough with the pressure.
