How to get rid of road tar?

MonteCarloM3 · 10-17-2010, 12:41 PM

about a month ago, was driving throught some remote area and they were doing construction. couldn't tell until later after getting home, but there is a very fine misting of tar particles on the paint. mostly the rear quarterpanels and back of the trunk etc.
best way to get that off without harming the paint? there is a wax coating underneath so that should help protect it.

clay
tarminator
solvents
mineral spirits

Clay and perhaps Goo Gone.
