I'm not wasting my double shot espresso on the D4!

Just wax and grease remover or prepsol if you go by brand names we have a paint shop at work and this is what they use works a treat and safe for paint... id be careful using eucalyptus oil or anything like that might attack the paint.... diesel or wd will do it but then u got to clean the oily mess.

All fixed. Got some prep sol equivalent in a spray can and all fixed in no time. Bought spray pack as it was going to be easier and used the whole can. Gave the car a good clean and then some wax on the areas I'd cleaned.

As others have said, Kero is DEFINITELY the go. Other substances can be too hard on paint & damage it.
A light massaging with kero ( let the kero soak in & soften it) will soften the tar, continued gentle rubbing will get rid of it.
The secret is "gently gently".
Pickles.

Diesel, is the best bar none, or Dulux Bug and Tar Remover, Regards Frank.
