If you polish the car well before next winter it won't stick as bad. For now, warm water and elbow grease is what's needed.

I don't know whether to feel left out because I have never experienced this 'green gunge'?!
I would vouch for the old toothbrush though, having used it for similar things on other cars.

You are lucky! I have an MGB GT and vw camper that get covered in it if I leave them. Luckily the mini lives in a nice dry garage. If you ever need any feel free to come ove, I have an entire patio of the stuff after lasts years monsoon of a summer.
