Baby wipes? They seemed to remove some very hefty tar like stains recently! Not from my backside either!

I'm not going to try and compete with Pieman's knowledge here, but I found the Autoglym tar removal product very effective.

Brillo pads will do it.

Tardis is probably the best but the autoglym should do it!

Slight helping of auto tardis. Then switch the pad over to wipe followed by a heavy rinse of water.

Iron X is also good.

Paint thinners.! Seriously... But only on established paint, and go easy with the elbow grease.

I go with autoglym tar remover, and find a claybar is also very effective at lifting the tar off..
