This. Thank you for constructive feedback like this.

I'd buy a car cover, but a good one, I heard poor quality ones could scratch your car.

Definitely get your car opti-coated asap, gives you easier time cleaning the tree sap plus I noticed it protects from micro scratches and swirls after washing (I use 2 bucket wash and microfiber/chamois to dry, but I still notice water 'swirls' after drying but they don't stay after the leftover water completely evaporates).

That is unhelpful advice, and I am not considering you a troll. It is apartment complexes run by people who don't care that made me swear off ever renting one again. I would rather live in the street than give one red cent to an apartment with apathetic landlords. I have also made it my personal duty to denounce every apartment complex that has made it their policy to not quite give a rat's ass about the people that pay their salaries.

I know managing an apartment complex can be tough, believe me, my girlfriend used to manage a 20 unit complex, but this is not the correct way of managing a pet, let alone people who need shelter. I hope that you're not trying to tell us that your management company "specializes" in treating people poorly when they have a simple request.

That being said, @trevorovert, there's really nothing you can do. Short of asking them to relocate to a space where this isn't an issue (and that depends on how nice they are feeling that day), you signed the lease and you don't get to pick your parking. That's just the way it goes. Hell, if a branch fell directly onto your car, they wouldn't be responsible for the damage unless you could prove that they were negligent. I'd say for you to document the issue with pictures, then try to bring up the paint issue with Toyota/Scion. If they tell you the issue causing the paint to prematurely fail (which they most likely will), then you just might have a case. It will be a long battle for you. Sorry bud.

Otherwise, invest in a car cover that protects from physical damage (this can also cause swirls in the paint job so get one that fits!). Your car is an investment, you should be protecting it anyway.

Thanks for the input. I've contacted management and they understand my concerns. There are car ports, but they are dedicated to specific units. I asked if it was possibly to transfer the car port to my unit.. otherwise I'll consider transferring within the apartment complex. Also looking at purchasing a car cover since I only drive my FR-S on the weekends. Anyone got any tips on a good cover?:thanks:

There is big pine tree from my neighbor drip potka dot like orange/brownish all over my white car. I have to constantly clean it with towel every week w/ towel. This is insane. I'm worried the paint layer will be worn and fade out.
Are there any good suggestion for type of spray cleaner to get at local auto shop to get? it take crazy amount of time to go over dot by dot after car wash.

It might sound dumb but it works wonders for me. I have to park my car under trees at work and once in a while I get tree sap.
Turtle wax makes a bug and tar remover spray. I spray it on the sap and I mean I spray heavy. I let it sit for about 10 min. Meanwhile I boil a pot of water. After the 10min or so I dip one of my car wash sponges or mits in the boiling hot water and use it to wipe off te sap. The heat helps brake up the sap. Usually takes me only 1-2 passes across the sap and it's all gone.

rubbing alcohol works wonder. Try to apply a little on a softcloth then rub that tiny tree sap spot. Remember to rewax that spot.
