My guess would be tree sap. Junkman2008 probably has a video on how to fix it.

Has the car been in Florida its entire life? Possibly a combination of the Florida climate and Nissans thin paint/clear. This type of oxidation is actually a common issue.

You can try to buff out the oxidation with a rubbing compound followed by a polishing compound to restore the shine. Always use the least abrasive compound that will work.

If you cant correct it?

You can pop the mirror cover off, and have a body shop color match it and paint it & pop it back in.
