Don't pour it directly on the finish... get the towel damp with the solvent and then lightly work on the sap. Wash it off ASAP.

Also you might try some trim adhesive remover.. it may not be as strong but will be much better for the paint.

good luck!

I've had good luck with WD-40 for bugs and tar. it might work on tree sap too.

Turpentine works pretty good on pine sap if the sap hasn't hardened too much. Don't leave it on very long. Also, first try it on a place that is hidden from view to see if it messes up the paint.

WD40, mayo, antifreeze, turpentine. YIKES!!!
I'm sure all those stuff works but it is messy and/or toxic to say the least.
I use a clay bar kit like Mothers. It works wonders and doesn't damage your paint. You can get it at most auto parts stores. Here is a link which describes it in further detail...
