How do I get tar off my car?

Question

It lightly covers the whole car. (they did work while my car was parked in the street) You can't even see the tar unless you look really close, but the car feels like sandpaper now.

Answer 1

I stepped in tar on the beach. rum peanut butter on the tar then washed off with water. It got all off.

Answer 2

Most good auto parts stores sell bug and tar remover. If your car is covered, that might be a big job so you might want a body shop to handle it.

Before you go to that expense, I would contact the company that applied the tar and ask to have them take care of the problem under their insurance. If you were not illegally parked and they failed to notify you, I believe they should take care of it.

Answer 3

WD40 and a rag. Then wash and wax when your done. WD40 will make it look dull. New wax will help to keep dirt from sticking.
