Did the google thing but did not show my problem - have some shield here and am going to give it a dose of that when the sun goes in.

It will probably be scale insect and spraying with an oil will help, adding insecticide even better if you are not opossed. A spray with lime sulphur when fully dormant helps as well. It softens the hard shell not sure why that works but it does.
@wheelz - YES ! I may even consider replacing it with something else
