Straight forward answer : It will come off easy with a bit of petrol on a cloth.

No, traffic film remover won't shift tar. Nor will a jet wash. You can spend a fortune for a special "tar remover" or cut out the middle man & use petrol, paraffin, white spirit or WD40 on a clean cloth. Don't forget to wash the car afterwards & polish - especially those bits you've attacked!
Hope this helps.

Find a garage near where you live that has a "Jet wash" (not "car wash" as that does not do the job so well, being more designed for those too lazy to get out of their car). Most Jet washes have an option of programmes and it is best to purchase the "gold" programme or equivalent, which costs a little more but I think you will find it very effectively cleans off what you want to clean off. Good luck.

Are you actauly sure its traffic film (grime)?
the reason why i ask this is because traffic film (grime)comes off even if you wipe it with you finger, its just like thick dust in a scence,

this is something different i received a email today that said WD 40 cleans tar and bugs off your car, the main ingredient is fish oil, there isn't anything in the can that is harmful, it will peel old man winter off your car, among ever thing else. but first run it through the car wash.

Rubber gradually wears off of motor vehicle tires on the line because of the fact the line is abrasive and the rubber that comes off is the two blown off into the encompassing grass by way of the wind, rained away, or wiped sparkling up by way of clutter crews. The rubber will finally injury down and return to the soil in view that's evidently produced.

Don't use brake fluid.
Paraffin as already suggested, or white spirits.
Don't use thinners, they will take the dirt of AND the paint off.
