Just fought a similar battle with some water spots from a sprinkler.
Couple of links to some really specific articles on the subject: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...-type-iii.html http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...ter-spots.html http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...pots-hand.html It took me 3 attempts, each time going more aggressive with the polish/compound, to get rid of them. Luckily I had a DA polisher. I don't think it could be done by hand. Good luck!

I happen to have a small bottle of Mother's Carnuba Wax (liquid) so I tried a small amount on the tree sap. It just melted the tree sap away without harm to the paint.  I was then told by a friend that the best way to get rid of tree sap is to use a sponge or cloth, and continually dab the sap with warm water, the warmth melts it away. Good Luck. |

Clay bar would be your best bet. Try looking through this section of the forum.
