The stickiness is caused by greenfly / blackfly  on the leaves of the tree.
Called honeydew.
Get rid of the green fly on the tree and you will get rid of your problem. 
Although how you spray a tree I don't know !!

Will any cover not get sticky with the gunk making it horrible to handle?

If it ust rhwe windscreen and the back window you are boithered about could you not use  sunshine shields?

Yes, but so far the sheets have been tolerable.

Off to Google sunshine shields ...

Unconvinced by sunshine shields, but further googling has confirmed that honeydew can be bad in some years and absolutely not a problem in others. I thought I was going mad because I really couldn't remember it being this bad before. 

Wash and wax it is, just as soon as we can find somewhere sensible to go.

You don’t need to go anywhere for wash and wax, the best result ,with products you know that work will be DIY…if you do use wax it then needs sealing

That is why I stopped using caravan covers, always felt dirty after taking the cover off. Did not matter if it was the
woven material or the foil type of cover it always made me instantly feel I need to shower after taking it off.

Pleased to report that the problem almost vanished as soon as we got some rain - and it's not likely to recur this week either! 

The sheets I was using to keep the worst off will never be the same again, but that doesn't matter ...

Imagine what a full car cover will be like after a couple of months use. So glad I stopped using caravan covers.
