Clay the car to remove any and all contaminants. Your paint will thank you. Remember to wax it after as all the product will be off the paint after the clay process.

Yeah, the tar and tree sap is pretty persistent. You could use Tardis, a heavy duty degreaser and cleaner, but I think the clay will do it. Make sure you get enough clay because it will get dirty pretty quickly.
