Tree Sap Removal from Car Exterior
To get tree sap off your car, you can try Goof Off (or a product similar to that), or WD40. Spray the product on the stain, rub, and rinse well. For a homemade treatment, try using mayonnaise in a similar fashion. You may want to test the product you choose in a hidden area to ensure that it won't harm the finish on your car.

We have Pine trees in our parking area. My Jeep was ruined, (I thought). I tried everything, even the mayo trick. The ONLY thing I got to work was the "Goof Off". Worked beautifully too. Make sure you rinse it good or it'll be smeary.

I use rubbing alcohol on my car. Dab some on a papaer towel or soft cloth, place over tar for a minute or so and gently rub until it is gone. Works like a dream!
