| You're my boy blue  | I don't like trees much! Ok I spent a few hours yesterday in the scorching weather cleaning my car followed by a polish with Autoglym super resin to bring it to its best looking ever. Parked the car in the driveway for a few hours then went to go use it later that night and the car was covered completely in sap. I mean every single inch of the car is now sticky and sap spots everywhere. All that work gone to waste. So question is.. without having to do a full wash again is there a quick way of removing these sap spots? Will it have ruined the polish already?

| SNAP!  | Re: I don't like trees much! Must have really been scorching if the tree was sweating sap!! I would wash it again and this park away from trees, or even buy one of those car covers..

| All Hail the Woodsman  | Re: I don't like trees much! Wash the car. Should come off easily if you polished and protected the car with Autoglym Super Resin Polish.

 | Re: I don't like trees much! Put a decent wax on after polishing  Collinite will give a years protection with one application.

i think srp is great as an all rounder, but make sure you seal it with the extra gloss protection to give it extra protection.

| You're my boy blue | Re: I don't like trees much! Does the extra gloss really make that much a difference? If so ill give it a go. I ended up using the pressure hose to quickly clean it down. Can't park it away from the trees tho.. 2 in my driveway and the road is full of big old trees!.. Not great

| Black GP Sporting | Re: I don't like trees much! the egp is a sealant so it will hold the srp better and finish off the polish as polish's don't offer as much if any protection as wax's and sealants. check out http://www.detailingworld.co.uk for all your answers matey!!!

| smell my cheese  | Re: I don't like trees much! I use collinite's I'd say it lasts about 8 months tops but still the best protection of either Carnauba or Synthetic sealants. I too have the same problem, only I even cover my car up  But the cover had blown off and now my car is full of Tree spunk

| Burninator of threads!  | Re: I don't like trees much! yeah you NEED to finish it with wax, preferably a good one, or a gloss finish product. then when it gets sap on it you can remove it with just a hose and a sponge / mitt with NO cleaners in it
