How do i remove tree sap

[hiroprotagonist2005]

washed my coupe for the first time in about a month yesterday, on the front of the hood there looks to be some sap that did not come off with the power hose.

Any suggestions? what about a dish sponge-too abrasive?

Dryer sheets, sir....dryer sheets.

really? just rub it with a dryer sheet?

Pretty much. Just get the dryer sheet wet and rub away! When you're done, I'd suggest a good wash 'n wax too.

+1 on the dryer sheet....

make sure you wash the area afterwards though - you don't want residue to sit on your paint. A wax is always nice too

just tried it, also debadged. The dryer sheet worked great when removing the tape residue from the badges but the tree sap is still caked on; what do you guys suggest?

goo gone?something more car specific?

rub really hard worked for me...

Ugh..I have that crap all over my car! It's like orange spots everywhere. Especially on the freakin roof of my car. I hate scrubbing it off. It takes me forever, then the next day it's back. Guess i'll start scrubbing...
