Default Whats best at removing Pine resin

I've got a nice big dollop of it on the rear quater. Sadly its a hazard of my hobby, not usually this bad, but the land owners just sent the fellers in and loads of trees are dropping resin in large volumes.

Olive oil was recommended to me for removing resin which was still sticky/soft, worked for me. If its hardened not too sure.

Wash with usual foam and 2bm routine but add in a citrus degreaser after the initial jet wash down. If that doesn't get it fully then soak a micro fibre in hot water and hold on without aggitating. Then use t&g. Should do the trick. I wouldn't clay incase any grit is in the resin. Polish afterwards and seal. Try to get a good few layers of wax on there over a day or 2 and it should make it easier to remove in future.
