Go to walmart and go to the car wash section, they have a black bottle, I think its called Sap Remover, but not 100% sure, you'll see it. I don't know how long your sap has been on there but I had sap on mine for 3 days and it came out with no problem.

tar and bug remover or Goo Gone should work well!

if you get desperate enough, try some old kerosene you keep around the garage. we used it on my dad's WRX to remove all the tar, bugs, sap, salt residue, whatever. it brought the paint to it's original smoothness. best thing is it evaporates and you can just wax right over it.

The little $.99 bottle of Concentrated windshield washer fluid will take
off tree sap every time! I just let my neighbor in on this little secret
last week. The poor guy has to park under a pine tree. He was in
disbelief on how well it worked. I thought he was going to try and give
me a hug....

Kerosene or gasoline even works. Kerosene is better though.
