the cheapest and easiest way is peanut butter. rub some over the tar and the tar will wipe off with the peanut butter.. might have to do it more then once.

its a safe solvent, smells like paint thinner, but its not. Itll take ANYTHING off. Interior stains on plastics, headliners..etc..

stains such as tar, sap, bird ****, etc... are no match for this stuff!
