JAS21 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I had the same problem ... found diesel fuel to be the best ... had already tried petrol and paraffin without a great deal of success. Then wash the area with water containing washing up liquid and re-polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckarooBanzai Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Most manual car washes will remove the tar for you but it will cost a lot more than a standard wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpSpeed Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) a small amount of petrol on a rag will fetch it off too Along with the wax and part of the clear coat.. I recommended WD40 years ago here and obviously I'm with T/A, it's all we ever used to remove rubber marks and all range of other petroleum based marks on the race cars including the adhesive from graphics easily & all without abusing your cars paint or your health as some things like kerosene and diesel fuel do, both of which are considered to be strong carcinogens.... Addendum: For dried on or larger spots it's best to spray it on and let it sit for a period of time before wiping and you may need to apply more then once..
