My RV pad is under two 60 foot pines that drip sap on my roof most of the year !
In colder weather when the sap is dry I use a popsicle stick with the end cut off straight and beveled slightly like a chisel using sandpaper. This chips off the older sap without hurting the roof. Soft sap comes off VERY easily with denatured alcohol from hardware stores or lumber yards in their paint department. Works great on awnings too. Best applied with a small patch of old rag or tee shirt and then wiped with a dry rag. I still scrape off as much sap as possible with the popsicle stick first. Been doing it this way for 7 years with great success after trying "goof off", laquer thinner, WD-40, etc.
