sounds like tree sap. Is it hard and above the surface? Try rubbing alcohol and a 100% cotton made in USA towel or Microfiber towel. Or try a clay bar.

I think...

...I know what you're talking about. I get it sometimes on various cars I've owned. After you wash off the bird crap, the little yellow dot remains of where the bird crap etched into your paint and stains it.

Is that what you are discussing?
