I have no experience with redwood trees. WD40 is effective for a wide variety of sticky removal chores. If that doesn't work, try each of these in a small test patch:

- Alcohol-based hand sanitizer - Let it sit, don't let it dry out. Alcohol is a good solvent for most sticky stuff from trees. An alternative would be to try isopropyl alcohol straight.

- White vinegar (straight) - Acetic acid may take it off.

- Pine Sol - Straight - It's a terpene based cleaner and may soften the residue.

I think any abrasive action will damage the paint.
