How do you remove "tar dots" from paint?

CHEAPEST AND THE BEST...KEROSENE...
worked in a gas station as a kid,,we used this on cars that we washed that were tar speckled

 

wd-40 will cut it ,and not damage the paint

 

I put a cup or so of kerosene in the water every time I wash the dailys. It takes the tar off.

 

WD-40 is actually mostly kerosene...

 

I've been using a Turtle Wax Product called ICE Liquid Clay. It takes all kinds of stuff off of the paint and chrome and even plastic. I wash the cars and bikes, wipe down all areas with this stuff, and rinse with water, then dry as usual. It really gets the bugs and tar and the other tough stuff.

 

Prep-sol is pretty good stuff. Also try Goo-Gone, it works for the stickiest labels I've ever had to remove and is citrus-based.

lots of good advice in here. Sounds like the big thing is to apply liberal amount of patience! Thanks for all the inputs!

 

"BUTTER"

Saw my Grandmother clean off the kitchen floor after us grandchildren ran through a freshly tarred road! AND IT WON'T STINK LIKE PEANUTS... GAS... OR DIESEL

 

Varsol and then speed detailer.
