    Would have to know more about the environment the car is in daily to give you the answer to exactly what it is. Something is either dripping on or "pooping" on your car. VERY VERY HARD TO TELL from a picture of a tiny spot.

    The brown spot may be a rust spot the can occur when there is a tiny pinhole on you paint that goes to the metal. A quick spritz of Iron X will fix that easily if that is what it is.

    pretty sure it isn't rust. it isn't dark enough, and is too soft

    My thinking is very old tree sap, something baked on. If that was the case, how would I get rid of it? Wetsand?

    I would get tar x or rapid remover. Both items will cut through tree sap with ease

    If it's a sap yes, it will be that easy. My wife's parents had tree sap on their car for a few months and tar x made removal very simple.
