Just go buy some bug and tar remover, or good ol gas works well (not on the paint though), or last but not least there is a paint thinner you can get some from your local body shop, it's made for preping paint surfaces for buffing and waxing.

If you have a Lowes or Home Depot up there (or any home improvement store), they should have acrysol. It's in a green tin can, it's safe on paint and will take almost anything off.

I have 2 suggestions:

1. Claybar for removing the crap (or at least after whatever chemical you use).

2. Take the specs. sticker off your digital camera.

clay bar it then wax then buff... I did this to remove teh residue from removing the dealer tag on the back of mine and it looks like it was never there, even after 9 years.

At the BMW dealership where i detail at, we use adhesive remover and/or carb cleaner to get almost anything off. I havent come across anything that has not come off with those two above....and we see some pretty crazy stuff.

Oh yea, they are safe on paint too. I would suggest to get a microfiber towel to make sure you dont scratch the paint trying to rub it off.

Good luck

I've always used an ahcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol to get that stuff off of my car. Havent had any problems yet.

Try some WD40. It will take off tar, it should take that also.

I would just soak in Bug and Tar, then wipe away with a clean microfiber cloth. I wouldnt use anything else (gas, WD40) those are potentially harmfull to the paint. After you cleaned the pine sap, make sure you wash the whole car to remove any traces of the bug and tar.

Dawn liquid soap with Hot water cuts it also.
