The DTurbo I've just picked up is covered in sap, wondering if there's a better/eaiser way to remove than going round the whole car with tar remover and doing each bit one by one.

I found the cheapest option is to spray loads of fary liquid all over the car ... wet sponge it a bit to get the car covered in soapyness and leave for a bit before doing normal clean.

Not the most proffessional but seemed to do the trick.
1st - Diablo 306 1.9 N/A Diesel - Failed Gearbox
2nd - Diablo 306 1.9 N/A Diesel - At 225,000 miles the engine fell out
3rd - Diablo 306 Sedan 1.9 Turbo Diesel - Rust bucket
4th - Cherry Red 306 Sedan 1.9 Turbo Diesel - Crashed 6 days after buying, Bah!
