Got a serious problem with tree sap. Both at home and at work, the parking is under trees which are literally dribbling sap at the moment.

This is about 3 days worth...


Can anybody recommend a seriously good remover and anything to protect/make it easier to clean the bodywork and glass?

Already tried:
Protection
Turtlewax
AutoGlym HD Wax
Megiurs Ultimate wax



Removers
Halfords Tar remover
Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover
Autoglym snow
Demonshine Snow foam
Turtlewax zip wash
Poorboys Bug Squash
Stardrops orange

thanks

Gtechniq W5 to remove.

Having some protection on the car in the form of a wax as you've already listed will aid removal.

cheers

Thanks Chris

Is it worth using one of those fancy sealants or is wax a better choice?

Without going down the 'coating' route the HD wax you already have is as good as something known for durability like Bilt Hamber or Collinite.
