Default Removing tar...

What is an easy way to remove tar from your car without harming the paint? My friend has some small spots all over his car from driving through road work. Would goo gone work? Any help is appreciated

Try using the Dry Ice method.

1. buy dry ice.

2. let dry ice sit on tar.

3. after 30 minutes or so, break tar off.


Someone correct me if i'm wrong
