Clay should get it off - you might have to make lots of passes, but if it's on top of the clearcoat then it SHOULD come off eventually. If you're claying, the material should skate across the surface (hydroplane, actually, on top of your lube) - it feels like it's not doing anyhting but it is. Don't be surprised if it takes several minutes of patient rubbing to see any difference - after all, the benefit of the clay is that is IS so gentle.

You could also trty soaking the sap with hot tap water first - use a soft cloth, soak it with hot water and then put the cloth on te sap for a minute or two Swap the cloth for new when it cools - maybe the heat will soften the material ebnough for you to lift a bit with your cloth, and THEN you can clay the residue off.

Instead of baby oil you can try WD40 as wel - I use WD40 to remove tenacious badge glue and it wipes right off the clearcoat after dissolving glue, so maybe it will work on sap as well...
