Because cars are painted and lacquered then oven baked then lacquer is very hard. I wipe tar off gently, use a polishing compound and the wax to seal the paint. The results speak for themselves! Try it! Guy’s

I used W-D 40 and a Magic eraser had the job done in no time. My wife used Goo Gone, it helped with the smaller splashes, but the real heavy areas not so much.

I tried Jiff peanut butter (it's what I had on hand) and the results were amazing! It took a few applications to get through some of the thickness of the tar (which sat on my car for a week). The only caveat was that it attracted a determined bee. Thanks for the tip. I tried Jiff peanut butter (it’s what I had on hand) and the results were amazing!

I tried some unleaded gas I had laying around for my lawnmower and when I dipped the towel in it with some rubber gloves and wiped it on the tar, it came right off! No kidding, it was magic to my eyes and I was the happiest guy in the world in my s-type Jaguar. I read all the suggestions, I tried the peanut butter but it wasn’t good.

Utah for 30 years for chip sealing and overlaying asphalt and the following clean-up works the best. For fresh oil on your vehicle diesel fuel will take it right off followed by a good wash and waxing. WD-40 is also very good . I just bought a Tahoe that had road oil on it for over 7 years and the ONLY thing that removed it was Jiff peanut butter and circular motions with my thumb and nail. It took some time, but removed that ancient oil and the surface is immaculate. I guess I deserve this since I am probably responsible for hundreds of people who have had to deal with this type of situation. By the way, we clean our bars and distributors with diesel when the day is over. Good luck and I'm sorry, but the roads have to be taken care of.

I just sprayed some WD-40 on my windshield and side of my JEEP and used an ice scrapper right away to remove it and worked perfect. You do not have to let it sit in fact I do not recommend it because it may cause the windshield to become unglued. What's also great is a can of WD-40 is not expensive at all. Spray Scrap and clean off with water and soap. Easy as 1.2.3 Tar splashed all over the left side of my windshield and hood after I drove through a puddle in the rain.

We thought it was dirt from our trip that day which included road construction. They put down oil and gravel and more oil on the road. I use baby oil when I have paint on me and it's not water based or it's an oil base. Put it on... and wash it off. Baby Oil or Skin So Soft by Avon took the tar spray we got on our car.

I saw the comment asking if Goo Gone would work. I have used this on quite a few other cleaning projects and it DOES WORK on road tar! I did not have to scrub very hard and I feel confident that it will not harm my exterior finish.
