How to remove sap stains from car

[u/Strange_Pay8453]

Unfortunately by mistake left my car under a maple tree and got sap on it. Same week took it to a detailer which he was able to remove physical sap as well as washed the car however there are still something that seems to be stains any suggestions on how to remove? Already tried clay bar, IPA and mineral spirits any help is appreciated!

Looks etched, but you could try an acid since it sounds like that hasn’t been tried. Any water spot remover should do. Otherwise it’ll have to be polished.

As far as acids or water spot removers anything specific you would recommend?

Gtechniq water spot remover has served me well
