1. bug and tar solvent OR
2. new car solvent

or try kerosene (old school tar remover)

use any of the above with a red shop rag or bug sponge from walmart or auto parts store

if you call the ph# 800 826 0828 they will give you the drivers name and cell phone # that delivers products to the car dealerships and body shops in your hometown. then you can meet them at the one closest to your home or work and get the product from them. they sell large bottles for dealerships and small ones for personal use. pretty good pricing too.
