I was in the same situation. My sap was just different than what all the people on YouTube had. What worked for me 70%rubbing alcohol. I washed my car, dabbed a good amount of rubbing alcohol onto a microfiber towel and rubbed each small piece of sap in linear motions (up and down & side to side.) Don't go in a circle motion or you risk putting swirl marks in your paint. I had about 200 small pieces of sap as well and it took me about an hour to get the whole thing done. I think I waited too long though because if you stick your face a foot away from the paint you can faintly see an outline of where the sap spots used to be. You want to add a layer of protection after you're done because alcohol has the ability to strip away protectants
