| Skin So Soft | 06/01/2005 |
| My sister drove her vet out from California a few years back and had driven through some oily tar and she could not remove it although she had tried all sorts of things. I suggested she try Skin So Soft, by Avon, and she was amazed! It took it off right away! | |

| Goof Off | 06/02/2005 |
| There is a product called Goof Off made by Lilly Industries that works like a charm. I purchased it at K-Mart, but you could probably find it at other similar stores. | |

| Gasoline | 06/02/2005 |
| Many years ago I used gasoline on a rag to remove it. Worked quite well. Do it outside rather in a closed garage. | |

| WD40 | 06/05/2005 |
| We used WD-40 to remove a 'lot' of tar from my son's car one time. It worked great, however, my brother told us that when it comes to repainting it, it isn't such a good idea. We didn't have to do that, so it didn't matter. | |

| Avon Bath Oil | 06/22/2005 |
| Nothing takes it off better that Avon Bath oil. Borrow it if you have to. It will amaze you, even if it's been there for a long time. Apply it with a rag, let it sit for a minute and wipe it off. No damage to the paint either. | |

Has anyone tried baby oil...i was just wondering cause I see allot of oily products on here. My brand new white car is covered in road tar spots I tried bug and tar remover... nothing. Went to a detail shop still came back with tar stuck to it. I'm desperate.
Best way of removing tar from paint is to use peanut butter
