Yesterday i was driving through road works between my parents and my house, when i got home i noticed a black dot, a little larger than a 50cent coin on my bonnet. It was a spot of tar that was flicked up by another car driving through the road works ....i cant budge it, even with my keys, its dried solid.
how F***ed is that

I have used a wax and tar remover from Repco for my car.
Went through some roadworks near Grafton. When I got home I thought it was just some dirt (40cm high x length of car) - till it did not wash off. At that stage I had a mate at a smash repairer. He gave me some chemical that brought it straight off.

wax and grease remover (prepsol) is good for getting tar and shite off the paint work. make sure you polish the area afterwards though.

Hmmmm i'm a detailer for Toyota, i'd have to say that prepsol is a fantastic product for getting stuff off ur paint, doesn't scratch and works really well.. Just add some to a cloth, wipe over the area, then go back to it in about 10 seconds. Petrol/kerosene would be an ok option but I wouldn't trust something like that when prepsol won't harm your paint..
Will work a treat
The bug/tar remover would be pretty much some kero and some prepsol (prob water too), fancy stuff
Look forward to seeing results!
