They make Fiberglas repair kits and wax removal liquids. I would bet a boating supply house would have both.

You can get both at any auto supply store in the painting sections. The bug and tar remover will get at the pine sap no problem.
The rest is a normal "cat hair" chopped fiberglass or fiberglass sheet bondo repair.

That is an excellent idea! I tried to "rep" you, but for some reason other than the usual ["rep jail"], was unable to. But, thanks anyway!
