Ducks and hides, awaits the purist input.
To remove stubborn marks, in the past have used thinners or petrol myself (only leaded for the full effect ). On tar have used WD40, baby oil (mineral oil) and the usual T-Cut (the bottle not the bloke - although I am sure he cleans up a treat ). Now, having been converted, I use clay bar and it gets anything off the paint a treat - tar, tree sap. Call me amazed.
