How can I protect my BMW’s paint from bird pings and tree sap in Pakistan?

I usually park my car under trees in Islamabad, and now I’m seeing stains and etching in the paint from bird pings and sap. What’s the best way to protect my BMW 2 Series paint without doing frequent polishing?

Bird pings and sap are acidic and can burn through your clear coat within hours. In Islamabad and other green areas, this is a common issue.

Protection Tips:

Use a car cover if parking under trees

Apply a ceramic coating o r wax to make the paint surface more resistant

Carry a quick detailer spray and microfiber cloth to clean off bird pings immediately

Avoid wiping dry—rinse with water first, then wipe gently

Leaving pings overnight can cause permanent etching that requires polishing o r repainting.
