something stuck on my car.

yesterday i noticed that there are these little spots of bubbles all over my car. and when i tried to scrape it off my window it wouldnt come off. it feels kind of sticky. i washed the car this weekend and know it wasnt there then. i think it happened monday when i had to park under a tree. (damn parking) i hope someone knows what im talking about and knows how i can take it off.

Probably some sort of sap.
Bug and Tar remover will take care of it. Shouldn't damage anything either. Hope this helps.

Mothers Clay Bar should do the trick. All of those bug and tar removers are crap.

I'm guessing that it's tree sap. Buy some "Bug, Tar, and Tree Sap Remover" to take it off.

Re: Re: Re: something stuck on my car.

um.. last time i used it, i just poured some onto a pieace of towel or cloth and just wiped the spot down. Its not something that you would spray on your car. Sometimes it leaves a film that you might have to wash off afterwards, depending on how thorough you are. but just wet a piece of cloth withthe bug/tar remover, and apply it to the spots..... OR.. just follow the suggestions like craigb mentioned..
