had the same damn problem a couple years ago, rented this house that had a white pine in the front yard beside the driveway and i started noticing the sap drops all over my car in the mornings!
anyway i found that "GOO-B-GONE" worked well.
i believe wall mart has it, comes in a clear yellow plastic bottle with a black cap. at least the bottle i have does (may have changed).
i tried a bottle of bug n tar remover first and all that did was **** me off!
good luck
buddy of mine tried that all purpose laquer thinner and 2 months later his paint bubbled!

Well I bought a bottle of the Goo-B-Gone but my local auto parts store only carried it in a tiny bottle and it wasn't cheap so I also bought a big bottle of the Turtle Wax Heavy Duty Bug & Tar Remover.
Started with the tar remover and it put a dent in it, but was a LOT of work. Even after letting it "soak in" it didn't have any problem with the thinner spots and the smears from the wiper blades, but even hard rubbing with a terry towel only seemed to smear the big globs.
Went to the Goo-B-Gone and let it soak in the big globs for a good 10 minutes then really worked at it with terry cloths which got most of it off. The little bottle is completely used up.
I then did a good wash with soap and water to get the chemicals off. Now it's mostly dry and I can see that I got about 80% of it off. After 2.5 hours on the project I'm done for today.
I think I'll go to Wally World tonight as I know I've seen it in larger bottles there for not much more than I paid for the tiny bottle at the auto parts store.
Tomorrow I'll go at what's left with Goo-B-Gone and maybe something a little more abrasive than just a terry towel. Maybe a course sponge or a teflon safe scrubber, re-wash it and then hit the whole thing with a coat of wax.
TREE SAP SUCKS!!!
