Unhappy How to get rid of brown spots from tree

I got brown spots all over the car possibly coming from the tree where I park my car.

On Sunday, I've tried to remove them after the car wash.
I've tried to wax them out, but that didn't worked...
I've tried paint thinner (airbrush thinner, one I used to use it on my model toy cars) but doesn't seems to worked either...

I'm afraid with non cotton clothes in combination with (409 or Clorox bath cleaner type), it seems to work.
Spent about an hour and a half to remove those brown spots on 1/3 surface of my car...

A bit concerned of how strong Clorox could be on the car's paint.

Has anyone had similiar problem or know the best solution?

Thanks!

Do not use harsh chemicals. User claybar and or bug and tar remover. it works good on sap too. Explore more in Wash & Wax sub-forum and also visit Autopia.org

damn...and i thought i was the only one getting these brown spots on my car...thought maybe it was from construction areas at first, then realized it was from a tree near where i park my car...i've just been able to wash them off at the car wash or with a damp towel...but it annoys me when i get these all over my hood after washing the car...never happens when my car is already dirty though...
