    yea claying should remove it..Just make sure you get a decent amount of clay lube so you can work the areas as long as needed to remove the sap... I find Optima No Rinse works best..you can get a 32oz bottle for 15.99 and you only use .5oz per 32oz of water for a clay lube. I HATE sap..I ALWAYS make sure when i park my car it isnt near any trees..that stuff sucks.

    Just remember claying removes any wax you had on the car for protection and most of the time claying will induce fine scratches into the clear.

    Jim,

    Go to APi in kittanning get a can of wax and grease remover it will take it off but you will have too wax it after. The stuff works amazing to remove tar, bugs, sap, with less work than clay bar and is completely safe on the paint and clear coat.

    I use the mothers claybar kit....Its cheaper than others but works great. Plus you will be surprised the other crap that comes off along with the sap...it comes with a bottle of detailer. I always cut it with half water when then bottle gets down to half if I'm using it to claybar. I wish I had access to the products Vader uses to try but I gotta use what's availible out here in amish country lol
