Default Tar removal

I have lot's of tar spots on my car what's the best stuff to remove them. I used some tar and bug remover but it was taking ages as there is so much. I was thinking about using some sort of solvent then waxing and polishing the car. Any ideas

Thanks

Jeremy

What's Tardis like with graphics / decals / stickers / current trendy name for vehicle livery My van is covered in tar but I could do with leaving the stickers ON!

Was gonna get some Tardis for the car anyway

Generally fine; professional quality vinyl and stickers applied properly will be unaffected by it. However, as always it is worth limiting the contact time as much as possible.

you could always remove the stickers and replace them with RAC instead
