removing dried sap from car

Factual Questions
1

Straightforward question. I just noticed that at some time in the past I had parked under a pine tree. I have lots of small hard to see drops of dried tree sap on the hood of my (old) car. Any suggestions for removing it without damaging the finish?
Thanks

Instructions. Hope that helps.

I would try it on a section of the car that doesn’t show easily first to make sure it won’t hurt the finish.

You’ll need a solvent, but not one that is too harsh. I’d check at your local Pep Boys/AutoZone and see what they have. Even good old Bug And Tar Remover might do it.
