I use lacquer thinner to get that and road tar off.Its not going to damage anything as long as you polish and wax afterwards.Im talking about clearcoated panels.

If you have a fairly recent Maxima, I'm pretty sure you have a clearcoat. I would recommend using a Clay Magic clay car. It should remove the tar without damaging the paint. You can also use it all over your car to take lots of caked on dirt off safely before you polish or wax the car.

Langka. I know it removes touch up paint. I have it, and have used it. It works.
