That's too bad, at least the car wasn't just painted, then I'd really be pissed. That's a good point too for the insurance company to pay for it. What if it was just painted or does your car have to be in a locked garage overnight?

Good call the damage does falls under just the comprehension portion of my coverage and it is only 3 digits..which will cut my deductible in 1/2.
Pictures taken, police report generated, insurance claim filed and reward posters posted...promise of "cash" for conviction of the offender(s).

I was taught 2 specific punches by my senseis':
One is a paralyzing blow the other is a death blow.....problem is I get them mixed up.....

It's probably shoe polish.
Have you tried bug and tar remover?
Liquid car wax?
There are also some commercial cleaners. Years ago a friend had a roofing tar pot explode near his Lotus Europa. The
commercial cleaner did it. Insurance paid the cleaning.
