How can I remove road tar from paint

[Rufcar]

cheap and easiest was is mineral spirits on a rag. done! I once owned a Suburban and a road worker made me drive through wet tar before the chips were added both sides of my car where covered. I used the risky but effective gallon of gas on a rag. Took it right off. Then washed and waxed and was perfect but did take some time! Warming it up is a good idea. So is the clay bar someone suggested. I just did the entire car yesterday with clay then buffed it all out with a wool pad and Drywash and guard. Some of the tar spots were difficult but not impossible.

I have quite a lot of tar that got splattered up into the rear bumper and the front wheel wells. If I try to clay bar it out I would probably destroy the clay bar in minutes

Then Id heat it a bit to soften then use any of the suggested chemicals that were listed. Sometimes dried tar takes time. As we say while working on a Rolls or Bentley its not a 15 min job! Be patient. Any fine surface scratches from getting off can easily be buffed out.
