Maple Tree And Blue Dots


I have a maple tree in my front yard that seems to be putting blue-like dots on vehicles parked near it. Anyone ever seen this happen? I do believe the tree is sick and needs to be removed. I have been here many years and have never seen this. What are these blueish white dots?
Comments?

P.S. I can't seem to find the diy link.

Bird poop?

How big are the dots? Do they come off easily?

Had a similar thing happen. I sucked some of the sap out of my maple and I started seeing blue dots. Some of the dots were furry and had vampire teeth. The next day I cut it down and hauled it to the dump.

Kill it and burn it before it crawls up your arsch and mutates.

Definitely not bird poop. More like a blue pollen or powder sized, and it does wash off easily. A good rain washes a lot fo it off.

Sorry about no response on this, I seldom check mail and it slipped by me. No pics. I did get it off, but it was harder than I thought it would be after it had been on a little while. Buffed it out. Strange I have never noticed thisd before. Same tree has been there since I bought the place close to 30 years ago.
