When I tried to chamois it down after it was still very sticky and instead of the chamois removing the water marks it has left streaks with fine bits of chamois powder mixed in. Any suggestions how to get rid of the sap other than repeated washing? Try using a branded car polish that smells of solvent. Usual disclaimers apply... Surely buying the solvent is many times cheaper, if the OP doesn't have any. Oh, quite true! But a branded polish gives some measure of back-up against causing damage to the paint (complaint to the manufacturer. etc), and should leave a better finish. A number of polishes are said to be usable without having to wash the car first - just designed to rub the dirt in -- from KT24 in Surrey, England "I'd rather die of exhaustion than die of boredom" Thomas Carlyle |
