Default Tree Sap

Well, weve got trees over the driveway of our place. As a result, Ive got #$#%&*(* tree sap on all three vehicles.

Any suggestions before I KILL the guy that owns this house?

I havent had much time to spend with it but I bought some Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover...seemed to work fairly good. Looks like Ive got my weekend planned.


I will also try some bug spray and maybe some WD-40 (cause it isnt good for much else).

I just about pulled my ax out....If I had a chain to drag the trees in front of his house I probably would have went ahead with that plan.
