Is petrol the best for removing tar spots on cars?

Is petrol the best for removing tar spots on cars?

Not sure about being the best, but it works & you usually have easy access to some

Ive had good results with autoglym tar spot remover

I got a fair bit of tar off the flanks of my car just with Autoglym polish

WD40 works fine, used it many times on my car.

[Steve Brookman]

Thanks,

I'll give WD40 a go first.

Have used tar spot remover in the past and not impredded.

[feeutfo]

used ptrol on bike wheels once, it took some paint off.

No such problem with WD40.

[Ploppy]

Ive always used WD40...

works a treat !!

[Steve Brookman]

Tried WD40 and then petrol.

Petrol by far the best-then it started to rain

Parafin should do the job ok, we used to use it for de waxing brand cars.

Yep,parrafin should do it,but i think its a bit thin on the ground today,only know to one petrol station locally that sells it. :-/

Used to do this with petrol and it worked fine.

My logic was that car paint should be petrol-resistant by design as some of it will always get spilled on the paintwork when filling-up...
