Tar and ... well just tar I guess

Anybody have a good tar remover they use and might want to bring to breakfast Saturday? My passenger side looks like I work for ODOT patching roads :(

Nothing like washing your car and discovering half of what you thought was grime is actually tar.

Never mind I could not take it and went out and clay bared. It looks much better now.

Tar remover? I usually remove my tars with a lug wrench

I wish I had taken pictures before and after, there was tar on the rear window. So draw a line from the front wheel to the rear window then imagine little tar stripes filling in the whole area. I guess this is what happens when you do not wash a car for 5 months.

Allen I think you've gone over the deep end on the black out thing. You should wait for August & head south to drive all the freshly tared roads. Instant blackness....

Back to tar remover. I do not like the commercial ones out there, they all seem to have an abrasive to them. I use kerosene.

PS Don't leave it on there for 5 months!
