Default White Paint

I have a white Honda and it usually is parked under a crepe myrtle tree. Now that it's blooming, the flowers or the seeds have stained the white paint. I was wondering what I should do besides just avoiding the tree to protect it.

Today I washed it twice because I was interrupted. But to get the brown stains off the paint I used a tar and bug remover product. Is there something I should be doing to prevent it from happening again? Should I wax it?

I hate white paint, NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY WHITE.

Don't park it under the tree or just get a cover. And white is the easiest to clean, black sucks.

Black sucks. You see everything. Trust me. But its so nice when it's shiney.

White is a lot easier to maintain than black...black is a magnet for swirls and scratches (at least they show up worse)
To get the marks off I would clay the car, then put a coat of Wolfgang deep gloss sealant and even maybe a coat of carnauba wax on top of that. The more protective layers you have the easier it will be to keep the crud from bonding to vehicles surface.
