    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!

    I'm just going to have to live with it for the next 10 months, I mean it should be better when it's cold out....rightDaily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!Daily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!...winter time...Daily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!Daily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!

    I need basically a tent that just has an opened front, this way the car is protected, it's not like the sap gets on the grill/nose area. That said, how about windy days, I surely don't want it damaging someone else's rideDaily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!

    I know this, no WW work on this but I'm pretty sure a RW will, especially with the grout sponge, I'll try IT next time around along with the GD method. Time to open up the war chestDaily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!

    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 might need to look into a car cover but that could cause other problemsDaily sap on car...the war is on, could use some advice!

    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
