Default tar remover

what are people using to emove tar? road repair

anybody use Mr. Clean? Turtle Wax? I was surprised to see the same Turtle Wax Can I bought back in 1978 sitting on a store shelf, must be good stuff to remain unchanged for 30 years. It did work great but I'm worried what it may do to my finish.

http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,4,11 the can in the middle is what I'm referring to

I've also had good luck with wd-40. Follow it with a wash and fresh Z.

Stoners Tarminator works well but quite strong, I prefer Poorboys Bug Squash personally. Works well and can be added to car wash soap for those times when extra cleaning power is needed.
