zippo lighter fluid- it is the least damaging solvent (aka Naphtha). I'm guessing the bug removers are similar products.

Most simple automotive paint tar removers are nothing more than perfumed - up kerosene.
Your two suggestions are a bit more aggressive and would work better without damaging paint. When your finished wash with Mothers Car Wash Soap and re-wax the painted surfaces.

Paint thinner, Lacquer thinner, Tar remover (lighter fluid) all will work. After any of them, just re-wax the area or car and all will be fine.
Lacquer thinner will remove it the fastest.
Do not use WD-40 or other odd items people tell you, paint is not strong to put up with certain chemicals.

I have always used Charcoal Lighter Fluid... it works great and it's cheaper than some special tar remover from AutoZone
