I have discovered that Acetone, available at the hardware store for less than
$10/gallon, will remove tree sap, even the dried stuff, from my clear coat
painted truck without even dulling the gloss. It may work with tar. I figured
this stuff is pretty safe to use because it's what Nail Polish Remover is. I
also used it on the oxidized black paint on my 1986 Mustang to get rid of the
same tree sap, and it left a ring of dulled paint, and a little color came off
on the paper towel I used. Some Mequires Diamond Cut compound brought it right
back.
