How do you get the tar off?

[Lurch350]

okay ive had tar on my white truck were the wheels spit it up, and alot of it has been there for a very very long time,,

ive used tar and bug remover that was a freakin joke!

tryed just good ole elbow grease some of it will come off a little bit but man talk about taking a seriously long time and still some there,

even used some ole mineral spirits paint thinner on it and it did a little better but not much and i was afraid to use much for fear of harming the paint also..

So whats the trick guys? ive heard everyting from google, from mayonaise, to peanut butter, to wd 40, brake cleaner, gas, kerosene, deisel, but the last few all say it could hurt the paint.

So whats the trick lol

wd 40 is a great cleaner.....its worth a shot i've used it a lot of times for grease spots

Gas and a rag. Done and done.

And peanut butter will do it, but be ready for some serious elbow grease.

Never have had an issue with the gas messing up the paint but maybe I was just lucky.
