I read about that somewhere else. Is that something I can get at Autozone or Advance, or do I need to go to a paint/body supply shop to get one?

Yea, autozone carries one or two brands of claybar.  works wonders on swirl marks, but never tried it on sap.  If it was me, i'd just take it to maaco and get it re painted for 3-5 hundred bux.

Maaco will NEVER touch anything of mine. A buddy has his Cherokee done by Maaco, and it looked like a tribe of blind 6 yr olds painted it.

Hahahah, i was just throwing out a random auto-paint shop.  Maaco has so many commercials, it just popped in mind.

Claybar won't do. It's not strong enough. It's good for spot cleaning but nothing on this level.

If you don't want the chemical route you can try 1000 grit sand paper, then 2000, then scratch remover paste, then a light polish. The 1000 will probably get gummed up quickly. 

If you want to really bring the paint back use the scratch remover all over, then a light polish. For an SUV I use a synthetic wax, easier to put on and take off.

Do not sand that thing with 1000 grit you will be sorry.
