It will smudge on first few passes but with in seconds, boom done. No letting it sit or waiting. Final pass, only swipe in one direction!

I had to spray it several times, but it really broke up the tar and I was able to wipe it off fairly easily.

By siris (Guest Post) Goof Off 06/02/2005 There is a product called Goof Off made by Lilly Industries that works like a charm. I purchased it at K-Mart, but you could probably find it at other similar stores. By dianajoyce Gasoline 06/02/2005 Many years ago I used gasoline on a rag to remove it. Worked quite well. Do it outside rather in a closed garage. By Syd (Guest Post) WD40 06/05/2005 We used WD-40 to remove a 'lot' of tar from my son's car one time. It worked great, however, my brother told us that when it comes to repainting it, it isn't such a good idea. We didn't have to do that, so it didn't matter. By (Guest Post) Avon Bath Oil 06/22/2005 Nothing takes it off better that Avon Bath oil. Borrow it if you have to. It will amaze you, even if it's been there for a long time. Apply it with a rag, let it sit for a minute and wipe it off. No damage to the paint either. By Ardis Barnes Bath Oil Worked 07/08/2005 Thanks for the great tips!
