Alcohol on a paper towel defeats that nasty stuff ez. If you don't have any alcohol, just go to any gas station and buy a 99 cent container of gas line anti-freeze, which is basically alcohol.

Re: Tree Sap? NO PROBLEM
Few notes of caution... first being that a paper towel will scratch and/or mar paint. I would highly recommend never touching paint with any paper products - glass is ok. So in this case, just modify your plan of action to use a suitable microfiber towel
Two, the alcohol will remove wax, so be sure to wax the area when done

Re: Tree Sap? NO PROBLEM
Well, the sap will ruin a mf towel 'cause it won't wash out. Use Bounty; I doubt gentle wiping w/ a fresh Bounty will scratch paint. Chuck the Bounty when done, or save to remove grease from a door jam.Comment

And not all tree sap is equal. Some I have been able to just wash off and some took more agressive tactics/products.BarryComment

Re: Tree Sap? NO PROBLEM
I've been using Isopropyl alcohol to remove tree sap for almost 20 years now!
...though I agree that it should be used with a soft cloth and not a paper towel.

Mineral Spirits, never had a problem. Grew up in an area where only mineral spirits would remove some of the nasty pine sap around.Comment
