Is there a product out there that all you Audi folk trust to take road tar of the car's paint?

I have tried just soap and no luck i want something that will remove it with ease and no damage to my pearl white paint or clearcoat!

Any info. is welcome.

Detailing forum has more info than you want to know about tar.

Clay bar...very easy, gone in 2 seconds...excellent

Clay bar.wrong product and in the wrong hands it will scratch the pearl coat. In my opinion. ;-).

my hands particularly deft...I use it frequently for this freaking tar...just keep it clean without debris and keep it lubricated...just like the directions say...I'm very happy with clay bar...but perhaps my hands are better than I thought...maybe I should try doing something else with them

Between licking, kissing and those hands....man, what a loss. ;-)

What I used on a prior car (white) was some sort of chemical solvent (the car detailer did it). It cut it immediately and lifted it away.

Clay is usually for the impacted bits that you can't easily rinse off with a detergent or solvent.

Probably a wax will be needed afterwards. Consult Griotsgarage.com or other detailing sites for tips on what solvents to use.

Available at auto refinishing supply stores--also great to remove the road film off the windshield.

I've used WD40 or other silicon-based liquid as a solvent. Wax after your do it.
