Wow!

My little guys shoot further than I thought! Hahaha!


What you need is some bug and tar remover. Don't srcub it too hard or you'll scratch the paint. Spray it on, let it sit for a minite, then wipe it off. Good luck

From what it sounds like, bug and tar remover wont work!! what you need to do is get some polishing compound rub it in and rub it off

Try the former (bug and tar) first, then the polishing compound next. I'm guessing it's a sap like material and that bug and tar will do the trick.

Sounds like pine tar

I had several drops of this s*** on my car from my banks parking lot and like yourself I tried everything. the thing that worked best for me was of all things WD40. I applied a light coat and let it sit for about ten minutes to soften the s***. then I scraped it using very light pressure with the side of my ATM car and presto all gone. I made sure to wash and then wax the car after removal just to make sure I didn't damage the paint. Good luck .
