Tree sap on a pearl white

i thought hand sanitizer's main ingredient is isopropyl alcohol... aka rubbing alcohol.

in that case, just use rubbing alcohol.

Guys I tried all those methods this weekend except the nail polish with acetone and while the stain got considerably smaller and lighter there was still a hint so I had to move to a final resort. I wet sanded the affected area, which is about the size of a nickle and then polish the entire roof with Adams three step system and my pc7424. The stain is totally gone but I lost some of the pearls which I expected. This method works better on other colors that are not pearled but I did not have a choice. I am bringing it to my shop next weekend to have my painter do a spot repair on the hood. What a freaking mission, I am never again parking underneath a tree even for just 5 minutes.
