    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
