What drips, drops and falls on a car under a tree
A shady spot comes with company: insects feeding in the branches, birds perching overhead and, come fall, the leaves themselves.
Honeydew, not sap
Aphids and scale insects overhead drip sugary honeydew, and black sooty mold grows on it. With a cover on, it lands on fabric.
Bird droppings
Ford says paint softens in sun and tightens as it cools, so bird droppings can leave a permanent mark. Covered, fabric takes the hit.
Falling leaves
If falling leaves carry tree sap, AAA warns, its acidity could put paint at risk. Covered, the leaves settle on fabric instead.

Questions about sap, droppings and leaves

Is the sticky stuff on my car actually tree sap?
Under a leafy shade tree in spring and summer, often not. Much of it is honeydew, the sugary waste of aphids and scale insects feeding overhead. Purdue Extension lists soft maple, boxelder, linden, tuliptree and magnolia among the hosts of honeydew-making scales. Fresh honeydew rinses off with water. Left to sit, it feeds a black sooty mold. If water won't lift it, it is probably true sap.
Do bird droppings really damage car paint?
They can. Ford says paint softens and expands in strong sun and tightens as it cools, so a bird dropping left on can leave a permanent mark that needs specialist treatment. Ford's advice: wash with a sponge, lukewarm water and a neutral pH shampoo, and lift droppings right away, before they get baked on.
Can a car cover keep tree sap off my car's paint?
It puts fabric between the tree and the paint, so sap, honeydew and droppings land on the cover, not on your clear coat. We recommend the AllGuard Weatherproof Max: a UV-treated microporous film over a soft fleece liner. The cover is what gets messy. Wash it now and then on Delicate, with a gentle soap, in a commercial washer with no center agitator. Air-dry it with no heat.
How do I get real tree sap off my car?
Soon, Consumer Reports says, because heat makes sap bond to paint harder. Wash the car first, then dab rubbing alcohol on a cloth. If that doesn't lift it, use a tree-sap or bug-and-tar remover, test it on a small spot first, and wash and wax the area when you're done.
