Pine Pitch on Acrylic Windows

Any suggestions for the safe removal of pine pitch from the Tab Acrylic windows? We've accumulated more than a little this season particularly on the large rear star gazer window. I know of all sorts of things that will remove it but I don't know what some of them might do the acrylic.

    Smooth peanut butter? It takes label gum off of bottles. Try in a very tiny area?

    Find someone working in a hospital and try to score some V.Mueller Whisk Adhesive Remover. Try it on a safe area but I have used it on our 320S front window with no damage. This stuff is a miracle solution.

    Goo Gone works well and is safe on the acrylic and painted surfaces.

    I've used alcohol based hand sanitizer to get pitch off the paint on my vehicles.  I agree with the others to try it on a small non-citical spot but it's pretty gentle.

    Thanks all. Used Goo Gone and the pine pitch is now gone as well! No affect on the acrylic.

    That's great to know. I have some pines along my driveway that rain down sap once in a while. It's nice to know that Goo Gone won't hurt the acrylic windows if some gets on them.

    That is great news. I was wondering what would work to remove sap on the windows. Thank you for sharing!

    I've tried both goo gone and a 70% alcohol solution of hand sanitizer and the alcohol solution worked best.
