If its anywhere under trees it's aphid poo. Hordes of the little bastards sit sucking tree sap all day and crapping it out. The ladybirds surfing on your visor will sort them out.

We have a sycamore tree in the front garden, it is always dropping little drops of resin all over cars/bikes. Pain in the backside.

I wish, it has a preservation order on it so can't even trim the damn thing.

I live on the edge of a field and the year before last they grew rapeseed in it. My life was like an episode of The Simpsons for several weeks Rolling Eyes

Skudd the sycamore tree in my front garden 'interferes' with the telephone cables so BT arrange for it to be 'operated' on by the most gung-ho Tree Surgeons I've ever seen. Poor thing is butchered within an inch of it's life and is absolutely thriving!! Laughing

Doesn't tree sap actually damage paint work permanently?

Tree Sap - Horrible.
Once left my bike under a tree all night, was covered the next morning.
