Best method for tar removal without paint damage

[Austen]

Looking for the best way to remove tar from my bright white 17 without paint damage.

Kerosene, spray it on and let it soak. Then wash off with hot very soapy water.

I'd have to go with Bug and Tar... been around forever, tried and true.

There are lots of tar removers that work very well, one of them is Carpro Tar-X.

WD 40 works great.

WD-40, Goo Gone both work great.

Stoner makes a product called Tarminator that works great too.

Whatever you use I would put some wax back over the area after its fully clean because most cleaners will remove wax along with the bugs and/or tar. A lot of times before I was my truck(which ain't very often because it rains so G-D much) I'll spray the front end with some window cleaner (Windex) and let it sit for 15 minutes before washing it and the bugs and **** come off a whole lot easier.

Always had good results with WD 40.

Same here. WD 40 for the tar. Comes right off.

Citrol made by Schaeffer Manufacturing. Get it in the aerosol can and it works phenomenal.
