    "Another great pine tree sap remover is WD-40. Its mild solvent properties easily break down sap. The lubricant is safe on most types of paint. Spray it on and rinse it off with vinegar and water solution. Wash as usual."

    Better do it soon too...

    I'm serious , butter works on sap

    You every cut firewood and get sap all over your hands ? Butter takes it off better than anything else .
