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.:doh:

ยงยงยงยง thats not good all that sticky sap, take a couple of sheets and cover the car, do the roof at least.Peter
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?
Nightmare!! lol Can't you move it somewhere else? :)

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.
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.
