Our drive is overshadowed by a council street tree, a Hornbeam, that is host to bl**dy billions of aphids for the majority of the year unless weather kills them off. Their honeydew coats any car that is close to the tree. Even the leaves on my plants get drenched.
So I tend to use a cheap car cover during the worst periods.
But autumn sees tons (and I mean TONS), of leaves dropping into our garden, just as the council used to stop collecting garden waste. I was warned not to make leaf mould with any of it as the leaves will be coated in "toxic residue from car exhausts". What the council collects all goes to landfill.
Loads of leaves collect in the car's scuttle, and if that gets blocked, all manner of faults can occur.
