Default Tree Sap Removal

I have an '05 Black GT and where I live here in FL, we have pine trees all around the parking lot. Right now I have tree sap in several places on my hood and front fenders, and wanted to know what is the best way, or best producat to remove this stuff? Any suggestions or pointers?

Rather than clay bar (which can be an expensive tar remover), try gum turpentine or mineral spirits... only a couple of bucks at your hardware store. And like using clay, you'll still want to wax afterwards.
