Best product ever
Best bug and sap remover ever. I put it in a squirt bottle and keep it for touch up and windshield spot cleaning. Mix with Rainex car soap for whole truck. Works great for house windows, too - spray on with hose end mixer (saved from yard sprayer), scrub and rinse. Clean and clear. Great degreaser for garage floors, too.

BUY IT!
I bought this stuff because it had so many good reviews, so I thought I would leave one too to back them up! This stuff works like magic. It gets those bugs that are so smooshed on you think their permanently part of the paint. I was amazed how easy they came off with this stuff. I have to drive through a canyon for my commute to work, so you can imagine I get a lot of bugs. I also drive through a lot of construction zones on my way to work. I was so sad because tar got on my new car, but this stuff saved the day. The tar came off without much elbow grease. You NEED this to keep your car exterior looking like new!

Works great for bugs but not so much for pine tar sap
I bought this because description said it would remove tree sap. Once I received it, the label said nothing about tree sap... just tar and bugs! I tried it anyways but the best I could do was about 80% of the sap removed. I dont blame the Chemical Guys, but obviously the description is wrong! I will say that it removes bug residue really well!

Effective for tree-sap!
This product was the first to successfully remove dried-on tree sap from my car’s hood. Highly recommend! It required only a small amount of effort, along with a plastic card to scrape off the tougher spots. Activation with water was necessary, but overall, it worked efficiently.

It actually works
You never know if these kind of products will actually work. But this stuff does!! I love that it’s concentrated, so I can dilute with water. Mixed per instructions, rinsed the area off, sprayed and used a scrub brush and bugs, dirt and grime came right off. No elbow grease needed! Which I appreciate. I used this on our fifth wheel. The front cab gets filthy and I always hated having to scrub to get it all off. Now I no longer have to! Wish I took pictures, but I was in a hurry and didn’t think about it.

Removes Sap Fast!
Had what looked like sap droplets on my automobile paint, probably from a pine tree next to the car and some aphid/bug drops. They are tiny (like a pin head), but clear and you can feel them on the paint, giving a chipped look in the sun. Couldn't scrape/clean them off. Tried all the usual stuff, Rubbing Alcohol, other sprays, soap -- with little success. Then I used this product, diluted 1-6 ratio in spray container. Sprayed diluted product on paint, then using microfiber cloths simply wiped it off! Was amazing, love this stuff. Cleaned the entire car fast fast fast. This was exactly what I was looking for. Great stuff!

Meh...
I tried Chemical Guys CWS_104 to remove tree sap and pitch from my white car. It was largely ineffective (used full strength) and not much better than dish soap and water. The CWS-104 worked better on fresh spots and did a good job on minor cleanup.I also used my long time bug & tar remover from Turtle Wax; It was faster in dissolving the hardened pitch.The Chemical Guys product wasn't awful but it wasn't the miracle product I was hoping for.

AMAZING
Blown away by this. I have a white car, and used this product along with their microfiber mitt to remove tar that has been stuck to my car for over a year. It was gone in seconds.This removed bugs and tar that automatic and manual power washes could not. 10/10
