Goo Gone will work, just polish afterwards.

I got some sap on my car (damn trees) and I used Goo Gone Automotive Spray Gel and it worked great.

AMMONIA FTW just don't rub TOO hard and wipe clean when done. Will work on your headlights too.

3M adhesive remover. Most Auto body shop supply stores have it.

I couldn't get rid of some nasty sap (TB sucks), so I was forced to take it to a detailer. . .for $50, they orbited it all away. . .I've heard goo gone works as well, couldn't find it and the clay bar definitely was useless. . .

+1 Goo Gone is the S***. Car in front of me on the freeway kicked up a piece of shredded tire, couldn't avoid it and the front spoiler was tattooed. Nothing took it off except Goo Gone. As was also stated, just follow up with some Meguir's clear mist detail and should be fine.
