Re: Road Tar Stuff
WD-40 works like magic. Just re-wax the area after.

Re: Road Tar Stuff
Any of the above mentioned ideas will work. Probably the best and safest is PPG Wax and Grease remover. It's designed to work on paint and not eat it away, but if you don't have access to that there's tons of other options.
Once you get the majority cleaned off you could use a clay bar to get anything thats remaining that might not be extremely obvious to the eye. Once your done with that be sure to seal and wax because all of those solvents that remove the tar will be stripping all the protectants from your paint as well. Sounds like this would be a great time to do a complete detail job... |

Re: Road Tar Stuff
Just use the spray on bug & tar remover. It removes it easy & actually leaves a slick waxed surface instead of removing your protectants from your paint.
