I even managed to scratch the surrounding paint a little. Shit Shit Shit.
Any suggestions in what I can use??? TIA.

Isopropyl alcohol is THE best way to get it off.
it's .99 at the drug store, just make sure it's ISOPROPYL and not some other flavor.
Load up a rag with it and hold it firmly on the sap to soften it up. It might take a few applications, once it softens up CAREFULLY wipe it off, taking special care to not smear it on the paint.
Once it's removed, wash the area with a good car soap (mequiars or similar) and then load it up with a couple of coats of good wax.
