it would help loosen it at least....try the bug and tar first, let it sit for a minute to work its way into that.

Try hot soapy water with dawn or something. Usually works on light amounts of sap. Don't know how bad yours is.

Hrmm yeah $18.50 is a bit steep, I use 3M bug & tar remover, works great and is only ~3 bucks.

Buy some clay bar. Clay bar removes all road grime, water spots, pitch, and what not. If your truck feels like sandpaper, this will get rid of it all!!

get yourself some medium duty, make sure you also get clay lube too because if you don't use the lube, the clay can actually scratch the paint and plus it would be a bitch to move it across the surface.
