I was baffled bc I park in a garage so why do I have this sticky brown dust? I’ve gone through all my wiper fluid. Usually I get pollen in april/may but not this stuff in June. |

We got it too. I assume it is from the trees but have never gotten it before. We are in Bethesda.
Haven't tried to get it off yet - it wasn't that easy to get off the windshield so I hope it's not a process. |

Ours is like sticky tiny raindrops all over the car, windshield, etc. |

| We are in Arlington and it’s like a constant brown dust. I thought it was from construction in the neighborhood. |

from inside the car looking out the window looks like teeny rain drops sticking to the windows. not clear in color - kind of milky. |

Do you park under trees? There are some bugs in trees that secrete something called honeydew. They make stick drops on cars.
