how do i get tar off my car from the road?

Answer 1

Turtle Wax makes the best tar remover on the planet.

Answer 2

Kerosene, WD-40, several other inexpensive solvents, or look on the shelves of your local auto parts store for bug and tar remover. Gasoline will remove the tar also, but it's dangerous to use because of it's flammability.

Whatever you use, once you have removed all the tar spots, give the car a fresh coat of wax, to replace what the solvents have removed, and also to make it easier to get the tar off the next time.

Answer 3
