How does one remove tree sap?!?!

I was dumb enough to park my car under a pine tree and now i have at least 7 different little tree sap spots all about 1in. in diameter. I tried car soap and a soft sponge, also zymol cleaner wax and neither worked. I am afraid to use rubbing compound in fear that it might fade the black paint. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Trying heating it up with like a hair dryer or something, it should become "runny" again so then you can wipe it off.

Elbow grease= scratches in paint. Try a claybar.

Claybar or some rubbing alcohol. Better get that off before it does some damage to your paint/clear. Later.
