Berry Juice all over my car!!!

I parked under a tree and came back to what looked like a crime scene! Apparently these berry like things fell from a tree I was parked under and when they hit my car they exploded - leaving berry juice all over my car. I went home and to my horror, none of it came out after I hand washed the car. Then I tried some bug and tar remover... nope. Goo be gone, nope. Simple green... nope. WD40... Nope! (All done on a little inconspicuous spot)

I'm able to scrap most of the berry residue off with my nail but I don't want to do this to the whole car. I'm worried for my finish now.

Any suggestions? Clay bar?

Problem solved...

I ended up soaking a sponge in boiling water then resting it on each stain. One by one the stains lifted. Then I went ahead and washed the car with Dawn, dried it, clay barred it, washed it again with Meguires car wash, then waxed it with Meguires cleaner wax. The car never looked so good!

Hope this helps anyone that may come across the same problem...

We did something similar when a pen got into our washing machine. We soaked a towel in bleach water and ran the drier.
First we tried everything under the sun. wd 40, dawn, bleach, lacquer thinner, paint remover, spot remover. it wasnt until we added heat to the equasion that the stains came out. The heat opened the pores of the metal and allowed the cleaner to do the work. Congrats on the save of the century.
