                    Why does everybody brush their teeth before going to the dentist but never wash their car before bring it to me??

                          Bug and tar removal more than likly will not take off dried up sap. My. 02

                          Use alcohol, or acetone but be careful.

                              When I detailed we used Paint Thinner. BUT you have use it sparingly with a soft cloth! Otherwise you can actually do stuff to the paint.
