Just bought a 96 LHS; nice car unfortunately previous owner parked beneath a tree and car is just covered with sap. Already tried Acrysol and some mild detergent but it's pretty stubborn. Anyone have any ideas? I can chip it off with my fingernail, but it's not a Colt-sized vehicle. Like to try something that won't tear the clearcoat up.

Really-really hot (wear rubber gloves) water with with lots of detergent has always worked for me.
Hot soapy water and a wash mitt. Wax afterward.

I should also mention that engine degreaser works great for taking off road tar too.
bbq starter fluid works great, too!

lacquer thinner,acetone,nail polish remover,mineral spirits,gasoline,kerosene,reducer will work just fine ,common sense helps not to cause any damage to the paint,
avoid scrubbing,scratching or applying pressure,never use scotch pad,nails,razors,putty knife,e.t.c. unless you're planning to repaint

Goof Off or Goo Be Gone
Great stuff.
I used it to get road paint lines off my truck. Buffed and waxed after I was done. Looked like new.

Rubbing alchohol has worked for me and does not hurt the paint althouh it will take the wax off.
