    Default removing tar from paint.

    I decided to clay and wax my car today, and during the clay, i noticed a ton of tar on the lower section of the doors/ fenders. it SLOWLY comes off with the clay, but there is soo much there, i could be there for days straight trying to get rid of it all. Just wondering if there is another product i can use to get rid of it all that will not damage the paint?

    tarminator is my favorite product for tar right now. There are other good products, but for practical uses (you don't have a bunch of cars that need tar removed) use something that comes in a small size. The turtle wax stuff works *okay*, but Tarminator is my #1 choice at the time that I am posting this.

    WD-40 works wonders also.

    Any petroleum type solvent should work for you. Gasoline, Diesel, Kerosene, white gas etc.
