Isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth. Let it sit on the sap for a few seconds, then wipe it off. Re-apply wax/polish/whatever to the cleaned area.

Rolnslo nailed it, I take a cotton ball and soak it with alcohol and set it on the sap for about 5 minutes. Come back and it will wipe off easily.

Yep... IPA... will do the job. Be sure to reapply your preferred wax or sealant after b/c the alcohol will have stripped that along with the sap.
