You can use a clay bar to it get off , but you would have to rewax afterwards. Before the clay try a quick detailer(probably won't work but....), then try 50/50 solution of rubbing alcohol and water, then straight alcohol. You could also try vinegar or WD40. Hopefully one of those will work, if not break out the clay bar! Good luck!

honestly if you have an indoor garage, try putting warm water on it, then getting a blow dryer to heat up the water...

I mean, it's tree sap so if you can get it liquidy again it should be a lot easier to get off...

i tried the bug and tar remover, it's not working!! this stuff is like solid. would it be safe to use mineral spirits on the paint and glass? cuz that seems like my last option cuz it's really strong.

Why not clay? It will remove it with ease!

holy shit, i used everything to get this shit on there. it was like hardened super glue. but i went to western auto and i got some castrol super clean. i used that full strength and a soft cloth and some very very very hard rubbing and it finally came off. this stuff works really good. great for cleaning stubborn shit. comes in a big purple container.
