Re: Daily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!
My neighbors pine tree hangs over my F150. You will not win the sap battle , get a cover (I even cut off half the branches when they were on vacation)

How about one of those portable tents, Rog?
If you have your own parking space, just anchor it down and done.

Repaint the car to a matte finish...maybe the same color as the sap!

Check out cement anchoring systems, Rog. In all but a minor hurricane, these will secure a tent.
And ironically enough, in windy conditions trees are actually your friend.
They absorb the wind energy. Unlike a hard structure (building) that only deflects and redirects wind.

I wish the back parking lot wasn't so shallow or I'd park next to the A/C units but I washed my car there the morning after I moved in and a lady couldn't get out of her parking spot I might need to look into a car cover but that could cause other problems

Don’t let the sap get the better of you. I’m a major car guy and this may seem sacrilegious to some but it’s just paint on a car you wont have in 4-8 years most likely. Of course take care of it to the best of your ability.
Seems like you got alot going on in your life so don’t let one of your joys in life ruin it.
Rinseless wash as much as you want and if your coating last 1year vs 2 so be it just recoat it.
You should give Fenylab pure rinseless a try. It will get your coating squeaky clean.
Tree sap is now apart of your life. You cannot control that part of your life right now so do as your doing and adjust the things you can control. The wash and the coating
