Have tried using GooGone and a Couple DIY solutions off Pinterest to No Avail.. We have a large Pine Tree on the Front Lawn, It's a Hit & Miss from year to year but when the mood hits the Tree will leave Pine droplets all over the Car.. We've tried Goo Gone and a couple DIY solutions off Pinterest to No Avail.. Thoughts Ideas Appreciated, Cheers

Turpentine? I believe that is derived from Pine sap and should dissolve it ( haven't tried it however)... though you will likely have to rewax the car afterwards.

I wouldn't use anything on car finish except soap and a steady supply of super hot water. It isn't easy to get the hot water at home, so did you try a car wash first?

Save your money and time and invest in a DELUXE carwash and wax on a fairly regular basis. That's how lazy people like me maintain a beautiful car with no fuss. Works with or without a garage. Great for bird shat too.

Thanks For The Comebacks. @joypulv... Hand Washed the Car , lots of Elbow Grease in the Process... lol... @cdad.. In my Quest to find a Solution I found a YouTube video whereby 12 different Possibilities were Tried , including Name Brand Bug Degreasers / Removers that can be Readily bought off a Canadian Tire Store Shelf.. The Only 1 that Worked without leaving anything behind, 99% Proof Rubbing Alcohol did the Trick Effortlessly... Cheers Thanks

Sorry if I stated the obvious like a know it all.


(But you still didn't mention how hot the water was, LOL)
