RE: Removing Pine Tree Sap from Carpet
Mayonnaise worked for me! I rubbed some into the sap spot and massaged the carpet. Within a few minutes it started loosening. This was fresh sap. I put a little more on until I couldn't feel any sap anymore, then soaked up the mayonnaise with paper towels then soaked the carpet with Pet Stain remover. I just checked the spot, completely clean and no odor.

RE: Removing Pine Tree Sap
I have tree sap baked on over several years all over my car. I tried 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner (great for removing adhesive & road tar) and even a high quality hand polish (Griot's). Both of those products were labor intensive and very, very slow to dissolve the sap. No joke, it would have taken 60 hours to do the whole car. Thanks to the post here, I tried 91% Isopropy Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol) and it worked in 5 to 10 seconds with light rubbing. Cleaned the entire car in about three hours.

Rubbing alcohol also works to remove pine sap -- something about the polarity of water versus the non-polarity of rubbing alcohol. Seriously, there was sap all over my car, and it took it off in seconds!

Soak the area with OFF, then use a wet paper towel to absorb it back (no scrubbing involved), then use a bit of soap to clean off the residue (should be water soluble) and bingo, good as new. :)

I sprayed some on a shop towel and gently rubbed it on the sap and within a few seconds it was gone completely and still had a shine on the paint. I don't know the long term effects of Off on paint but I do know it can't be any worse than leaving the sap on it. I used just the regular unscented Off and am still in shock how it cut the pine sap.

Hi K.
Did you try WD-40? Try spraying some of that on the dried pitch, let it sit for a few minutes so it can work on the edges and then take a plastic spatula or plastic scraper and work at chipping it off. Even an old credit card might work. Let us know if you solve this problem.

Do not use any alcohol based solvent on finished surfaces. Esp your car. It will ruin your paint.
For hands, feet, & clothing, I use Goop or a similar hand-cleaning formula found at most hardware & drug stores. It also removes grease, tar, and generally any oil-based resin. Safe, and washes off with water.

How do I remove tree sap from my car or clothing?
Pine pitch can easily be removed from almost anything by using a water-soluble paint brush cleaner. The best thing, which is also harmless to skin, paint and hair, is bacon grease or lard. Just rub it on, and off comes the sap. To get pine sap off of your hands, simply rub mayonaise on them. Then wash it off. It works great. To remove pine tar or almost anything, apply lighter fluid, gasoline or WD-40 to the stain. Plain old rubbing alchohol also works great.
Avon Skin So Soft (oil) removes it just like that. It also will take the sap off cars and windows.

I've used plain baking soda on a damp rag and it has worked well. Rub some into the pine sap. It is gentle so it won't hurt the wax or finish. Keep applying it until you can remove it. You can buy large bags or boxes of baking soda for cleaning purposes but it is the same as in the small boxes.
