A couple days ago I got some of this stuff on my car, any idea's on how to remove it? It's already dried onto my car.

I heard gasoline might work, but i'd rather not use gas unless it's a last resort, any other ideas?

Bug and tar remover? Goo gone?

Either way I'm sure if you go into CDN tire they will have some sort of product.

Some kind of solvent. Gas (methyl hydrate, not gasoline, sold at home depot) takes of sap, not very good with tar.

gasoline works well, just be sure to clean IMMEDIATELY after using it.

My dad owns a paving company and we use WD-40 or diesel to get MCO of painted surfaces. Just presure wash afterwards.

Brake fluid or acetone. :angel:

deisel works great, but like mentioned, wash your car good after.
Good luck.
