BOB: Sap dripping from trees is usually due to an insect infestation like aphids (plant lice). The insects excrete excess "honeydew" which drips onto anything below. Also associated with aphids are ants, who have a symbiotic relationship with the aphids. The ants act like farmers, moving the aphids to the best feeding sites (near the growing tips) and in return harvest some of the excess honeydew for their colonies. BOB: Sounds like a raccoon problem.

The process for removing anything topically from a vehicle's paint should always be to start with the mildest solution possible, getting stronger depending upon need. So in many cases some tree saps can be addressed through a mild soap and water dilution. In cases of certain tree saps that have actually bonded to the vehicle's clearcoat, a more rigorous approach needs to be taken. Actual tree sap removal solutions can be purchased through automotive stores. See similar questions...

The sticky substance that is causing the sheen on the needles of trees, the sticky film on your vehicle windshields and the goopy mess on sidewalks and roads is caused by aphids. Aphids are tiny insects that feed on tree and plant sap. See similar questions...

The best spacing is about one tree in an area measuring 30 feet x 30 feet, or 50-60 mature trees per acre. Initially, a maple grower may start with a higher density of trees but will thin several times to achieve a final density of 50-60 trees per acre. The bottom 4-6 feet or tapping zone will be reduced in value by defects associated with tapping. Above this zone, the quality of the wood will not be affected by tapping. See similar questions...

Tree sap and bugs are your vehicle’s worst enemy. They assault your vehicle day and night and stick like glue. Both need to be removed gently and quickly or they may damage your paint. Some bugs will eat into your paint and tree sap will harden like concrete and damage the paint. Tar and certain oils used on roads require extremely strong solvents to remove. Cool Wave does not use solvents in our wash process. We do however carry a Bug and Tar remover in our vending machines. See similar questions...

It's worth pointing out that the roads in London are very crowded and the cost of parking is prohibitively expensive so we strongly recommend that you do not bring a car unless you really have to and don't hire one unless you intend to take it out of the centre the same day. London now has a “Congestion Charge Zone” in the very centre and the Parkwood Hotel is within that area. See similar questions...
