It's a good idea to get tree sap off your car BEFORE it bakes... if possible, if it bakes it's a problem. Inspect your car daily in the future and get the sap off asap, before it bakes. Since you probably got the sap on the car being parked under a tree in the shade...get it off next time before taking it out in the sun to bake. What has worked for me before it bakes is just rinsing the car with the garden hose and slighly rubbing the sap with my finger or a non barsive cloth with the water still running on the car..If the cold water does not loosen it try using warm to hot water to melt.loosen,dissolve the sap. Also a cleaner wax will take the remaining sap off if there is any left without scratching the car. Compound or a clay bar would be my last resort and then put on a few coats of wax when you are done. The worst thing is trying to rub off the sap before its loose as this tends to put minor scratch lines in the paint.
