I live under 2 huge oak trees.so sap is a nightmare.leave it an hour and its covered in the stuff :-(
When I wash I always use normal car cleaning detergent and leave it to soak on body for a few mins before cleaning so no fear of scratching/swirl marks

Sounds like some really bad advice above!

Clay bar or a good tar remover like tardis would do the job!

It depends how long it's been on there if not long just wash it with car shampoo and really hot water failing that a decent clay bar will get it off without to much trouble
