The traditional solution is chalking. Some paints are intended to
let loose of the top layer of pigment in normal weathering, which
exposes a clean surface underneath, so to speak. Application thickness
control is very important... There's trees around here is with sticky pollen, that
kind of paint would make the problem wash off easier.
