A whole day cleaning, clay bar x2, polish x2, etc etc
Paintwork was glass smooth.
Now at Centre Parcs and parked under pine trees for a week!
Forgot to buy car cover on the way up.
Damn.

If the car was properly sealed then it shouldn't be too hard to remove the sap. Did you use a sealant before applying the LSP?

Used autoglym super resin polish then 'extra gloss protection'.
I've no real experience in detailing. This was my first attempt with a clay bar and I've never applied anything after a polish coat in the past. I'd be open to suggestions and advice as to what to use in the future. Really enjoyed myself and was pleased with the results. Hope to take some pics after I clean the inevitable sap off.

Thought about asking permission to spend an afternoon on the car mid week... Not sure how that would go down. Lol

At least it has some sort of protection on the paintwork, got to be better than just washed.
1996 Olive Green 850 AWD - Follow the Project - Forged rods, 19T, big blue injectors, 960 TB, 3.25" MAF, Ostrich, 608 binary, arduino data display, active exhaust control with Focus RS tips, 320mm front brake conversion.
1996 Nautic Blue 850 AWD - Failed its MOT, now it's a donor for the green thing.
2004 Sapphire Black S60 D5 - The new daily hack.
A/G EGP should seal the paint. Nothing wrong with it.
There are AIO (all in one) solutions that can include an element of hydrophobic protection too (carnuba wax).
Have a look at the sealants on CYC and Polished Bliss
I've used a few in the past including CG Wet mirror finish, black light & factory sealant.
