@BiteDoctor The detailer's golden rule is to start out with the LEAST aggressive product first. Thanks for playing, please come again.

denatured alcohol works great

Try Prepsol, thinners, butter, cooking oil, grease even. if it's dry and crusty and hard..

it's a lot of work.. but let it set and it will soften it..

Rubbing alcohol did not work for me. I can't get this f-ing stuff off my hood... but I can scratch it off with a finger nail :(

I'm amazed at how many people who call themselves "professional detailers," are oblivious to the fact that 91% isopropyl alcohol will work much better than solvents at removing tree sap and is harmless to the paint. Class dismissed.
