Of all the places (countries) I've lived, this place requires claying weekly in the summer. I don't know what [exactly] comes out of the trees, but your car is littered with a mist of clear sap you can barely see, but feel quite easily. Makes the wipers stick and move with a jerky motion unless you clay the windshield too (which I do). The stuff is hard to remove with a good handwashing. That usually doesn't get it all, so claying afterwards is a must. Again, the Griots is the best clay I've used. I'm sure Swissol (sp?) is good too which is available over here.
Never park under a tree in Germany in the summer! Between that and millions of insects that love to commit suicide on your front end and windshield, Germany is hell on cars!
It's funny, most Germans use auto car washes, so there's not a lot of great car cleaning products to be found on the local markets.
