You will be fine with alcohol.

I'm telling you, acetone will work better but I am not discounting the alcohol.. Just steal some fingernail polish remover from the boss and try on a tiny spot. I'm not advocating the ONLY thing that works, I'm hoping to gain some hands-on knowledge from others on various things.

The sap on my 94 F150 looks like surface rust. It must have dropped on the truck like mist. It has sat under a giant oak tree since the early 2000's. It has left marks in the clear coat similar to acid rain once the sap was removed in a couple of spots but it's able to be polished.

I am going to test the cooking oil and isopropyl alcohol right now. Rubbing alcohol is diluted isopropyl with a couple extra ingredients. It's a driver 94 F150. Not much to lose if something goes south.
