That would work in an ideal world, but it's been my experience that every time I've politely talked to a neighbor about an issue with their pet the response was either a dull stare or open hostility. Responsible, thoughtful people have already taken steps to make sure their pets aren't a nuisance to others and the rest absolutely don't care. I'd put money on this cat's owner giving The Dull Stare and not understanding the problem since it's "just a car."
A method for training your dog to stay off the couch when you're not home is using a high traffic carpet runner. Put the carpet side down with the spiky "carpet grippers" pointing up. I don't see why it wouldn't also be deterrent for a cat on a car. It's very uncomfortable, but won't do physical harm (I know, I've stepped on one barefoot before.) Check your hardware store - it should be sold by the foot.
