    Can't remember the name of the stuff but there's a de-tarring bar available that's like putty. Takes a little bit of work but you rub it over the paint and it takes all the heavy, sticky dirt off and leaves it looking spectacular. Never seen anything come close to it. If I could only remember the bloody name...

    the best thing is panel wipe or paint thinners., and it wont damage your paint.,
    Depends on the thinners, white spirits or turps would be ok but cellulose or 2k thinners would destroy paintwork. I use petrol on a rag and then wash off woth sopa and warm water

    Clay bar. Probably the best of the lot actually!

    Just make sure you have lots of soapy water on the surface you are rubbing the clay over.

    A clay bar is best for removing other types of bonded contaminants like industrial fallout, overspray, rail dust & metal shavings (iron particles), etc rather than tar. Stuff that you can feel but not really see with the naked eye. If there is any grit within tar spots there is a much higher chance of marring the paint with a clay bar than with a solvent type of product which will dissolve the tar with much less of a rubbing action.
