Removing Road Tar from Your Car

Take road tar off you car by smearing it with butter. Leave on overnight and wipe it off in the morning with a rag. Good as new. My friend had bought a brand new car and took it on her first road trip and went thru some road construction. Her car was covered along the bottom of the doors. We used the butter and her car was beautiful again.

Thank you Katz, whoever you are! I was in despair over a very bad case of tarring picked up in France on my new (6 months) car. Tried other things with no real result at all. Thought, well, at least this butter business can't do any harm, so let's give it a go. Absolute magic! Thanks again.
