Alright guys, what is your go to technique for taking care of tree sap? I noticed a drip or two of it on my quarter panels and want to nip it before it sits for too long.

Turtle wax bug and tar removal should do the trick . AutoZone 5$

A shiny one
I have used the solvent of Brilliant Glaze before to safely remove sap.
The BG will separate after setting, just use the very top of the glaze before shaking up.
When sap is removed you can shake up the glaze and go back over the area for a great shine.

Thank you everyone for the recommendations! I was going to run out and purchase something specific but decided to try what I had on hand. 99% Rubbing Alcohol did the trick.

I soaked some into a microfiber cloth and then let the cloth sit on the sap for about 10-20 seconds before wiping it off. The sap came RIGHT off. Followed that with a full wash of the truck, looks good I see no signs of clear coat damage.
