I'm hoping to polish my TF later this week but half of the tar they used to resurface the road outside my house seems to have migrated to just behind its front wheel arches.

Anyone got any thoughts on the best way to remove it?

Bit of meths or white spirit and then wash immidiatly with soapy car washy water, then polish, must must must polish as the alcohol will take the polish off and you wont get that lovely shine

Actually the polish itself's pretty good at taking it off (turtle wax hi-gloss), Turps, or Jizer work wonders too, but as above, get the polish on quckish!

You can get Bug&Tar remover in the turtle wax form in a spray gun from Halfrauds

Aslong as the tar aint' been on yrs then it should shift it

auto-glym tar spot remover does the trick for me

Sticky-Stuff Remover from the Betterware catalogue! The best invention since Angelina Jolie

Yeah I use the bug & tar remover from halfords, spray on, leave a min then buff off, paying more attenting to the tar spots and they'll be gone then buff like a mother cos it works like a polish too and needs a LOT of work to get the shine, but it's well worth it

WD40 everytime.

Baby wipes.

Yep, WD40 is as good as anything - worked for me last weekend. Just leave it to soak in for 10mins (out of the sun or it dries too quick).

Petrol does the job, just wash it with warm soapy water after

brillo pad or wire wool .

Zymol cleaner wax if you're feeling flush.
