[scottssv10]

I bought a VZ at Auction and it had a lot of tar spots.

I used all purpose thinners.

It should not hurt your paint because it should be two pack but try it inside the boot or inside a door edge first.

for an off the shelf item autoglym intensive tar remover is pretty good

[Thumpin]

I wouldn't go near "thinners"...

Prepsol or equivalent wax & grease remover works great to remove tar

[Potta9]

I use wax and grease remover and then give it a new wax afterwards

Good old kerosene does the trick, a bottle is cheap and lasts for ages.

+1 for kero. washed off and followed by a new coat of polish after

hey mate i use bug and tar remover like 3buks at super cheap, white bottle green writing.
safe on paint and doesn't remove the polish

Anything strong enough to remove tar is going to remove waxes.

WD40 works okay, as does turps and kero.

[Car Care Products]

All solvents will remove wax on your car regardless if you may think so or not. They are chemicals to remove tar, and tar is a much stronger solvent/chemical/product than any wax itself.

So if you do use it, make sure you re-apply any sealant or protection afterwards.

Wd 40 ftw spray on wipe off then wash the car . . . Perfect
