[s-cars] Quick question on cleaning road tar off wheels and paint

Kenny,

  WD40 or kerosene should work well on tar and both are fairly mild.

 Subject: [s-cars] Quick question on cleaning road tar off wheels and paint

 S-Nuts,

 I recently picked up some road tar due to some local road construction.
 They were laying asphalt and I've ended up with this stuff all over my car.
 Luckily(?), I've got a black car so the tar on the paint is less annoying,
 but the fairly new SSR's look like crap with these specs of asphalt
 adhesive-tar all over them.

 I remember this thread before, but don't remember the conclusion.  If there
 was one.  I considered (for a very short period of time) to use some
 MethylEthylBadShit, but I don't want to ruin the clear coat on my wheels so
 I thought I'd ask the group about any BTDTs.

 Thanks,
