What's the best stuff to use for removing tar spots from the paint?

I have always had good luck with WD40.

Olive oil...believe it!? Also works great on removing sticky adhesive gum.

I like the turtle wax but after you wipe it away on dark vehicles you can see a haze anyone else have this issue

I'm a fan of the Turtle Wax bug/tar remover for my torch red 2000………….no haze here!

WD40 and I have also used 3M adhesive remover.

I've tried all of the above and others and have found Mothers 3R to be the best by far. It stands for Racing Rubber Remover. Spray on and wipe off and no residue!

Extra virgin or regular?

Clay bar..

Kerosene works great too. Whatever you use just hit it with a coat of wax after. No matter what you use, I figure if it can take off tar you can bet it took off any wax with it.

Another vote for WD40. Removes adhesive and decals too.

WD 40 works the best for me.

I've used Naphtha for years. It doesn't hurt the finish and cleans it squeaky clean. Or, use Ronson cigarette lighter fluid, it's actually pure naphtha. Naphtha is also the same chemical dry cleaners use to clean clothes. Most any hardware store carries it except in California.

I've used both Bug and Tar Remover and WD-40. Both work well.

wd-40 then give your car a good bath and you will be back to normal!

+1. I use kerosene because it's already in the shop. I soak a rag, wipe it on, wait a few minutes, and wipe off with a clean soft towel, then apply a LSP in the area for protection. For the really stubborn tar (usually the bottom of the rockers), I use the edge of an old plastic credit card and gently 'scrape' the softened tar up and then wipe it clean.

Thanks guys. I tried Turtle Wax tar & bug remover but it didn't seem to work to good. Then tried Tarminator and was very happy with the results. Seems to work almost as good as the old fashion way of using gasoline or kerosene.
