[quote=“Violator,post:8,topic:38576"”] Bug and Tar Remover (Autozone) Dont clay it until you get the bulk off with the tar remover [/quote] +1. If you’ve got as much tar as your first post sounds like you’re going to turn that clay bar into a sanding block in no time. Get most of it off with bug and tar remover, then switch to the clay bar. ---

gas/kero will take it off as well. You just need to get it off and then clean the car off again. (and be a bit more careful along the way)
