This is called artillery fungus and it's a ***** to get off. My Gf had this crap on her Jeep Liberty. You really need to scrape it off with your nails or a credit card.

Some user suggestions on the bottom. It might require intense machine work.

OK this is a first for me. I am familiar with aphid droppings. Looks very familiar. But not in February. Try:

a. Mineral spirits on soft white towel. One finger small area at a time.
b. Ammonia may breakdown the residue. Use sparingly.
c. Goo-be-Gone has a citrus base. Worth a try.

Looks like road tar to me.
Need to emulcify it...Try a road tar remover...let it soak in to soften the stuff.
You may have to us your finger nails or the edge from a credit card.
Are there any factories nearby that produce any by products like carbon black?
This could be the problem.

I tried a road tar n a differnt kind also no luck on removing the entire thing it will just take the top part off imma try to take a pic of what it leaves after removing the top layer. And there a factory miles away not sure what products it produces tho cant be that tho my next door neighbor also has a z and he never had a problem like this and he had his for years
