Pine Sap Removal?

For those who live in pine forest, how do you remove pine sap spots?

You have to catch it really early like the day it happens. I just use simple green and a thing that is like a one of those body scrubers for the shower. Its made out of recycled plastic. I just don't scrub to hard and it seems to take it all off. I also do the same for the bugs and tar on the front bumber and stuff. It might not be the safest way but it works for me since I don't a have garage.

Turpentine once the finish is cleared away.

If using Zaino -- remove the Zaino with Alcohol. If the stuff has "burned" in, use some 3M compound to gently rub out a bit of the spot.

Apply alcohol and/or turpentine to the spot.

This is for getting rid of nasty stuff -- I just had to do this and the story is about 2 pages long, and it worked perfectly (what a work out).

Don't ever let sap dry on a car -- I though I had some tiny droplets of water mist, but got the surprise of my life!!!!

Avon's Skin So Soft. The stuff they use to keep the bugs away. It's very gentle on the paint. Works great. Put a little on a rag and lay it on top of the spot for a minute or two.
