My wife recently parked the car under a maple and a lot of resin has dripped onto the body and now we need to clean it. What do you advise?

I advise you to take a look at this article How to get tree sap off car paint | Best method to remove tree sap from car paint and windows

helped me, especially about cleaning with a steam cleaner

Use mineral spirits then rewax. Keep nail polish remover faraway from your car! Its acetone and will remove the paint.

use a heat gun to soften them and pop them off with a blade.
sand them off with sandpaper or a sanding block.
use a Dremel tool.

Use a blade then use sandpaper?? Sure lets hurt the clear coat! I would not do that procedure if you want to maintain your paint. .

Touch up paint with a few light coats will cover. Let it dry for couple of days before you touch it. You will be able to see it up close, but not from day 6 ft away
grit sandpaper use to remove clear coat is reliant on whether you're starting wet or dry. If you're starting dry, use 800-grit first. Once you start wet sanding, use 1,000-grit, then finish off with 1,200-grit. If you need to blend sanded areas, use 2,000-grit.
