you could always use a claybar and then a buff.

i would try that first, and then go from there.

Not the best idea, but I'd used a heat gun and goo gone.

be careful with whatever method you try.

if its baked on tree sap that's been on there a while, it's going to be really tricky.

google removing tree sap with rubbing compound and mineral spirits.

The rubbing compound will open up the dried sap and the mineral spirits will loosen it up chemically. but be careful. car paint jobs are delicate.
