Have you checked out the Wash & Wax subforum? There is lots of good info there.

the detailing dept at my acura dealer suggested gas line antifreeze will work perfectly, without damaging any paint/clearcoat/wax

don't forget that tar and bug remover is also wax remover -- you'll need to re-wax the affected area afterwards. not sure about the gas line antifreeze (which, btw, is identical to rubbing alcohol) suggestion

yes, use some tar remover to get the big pieces out, and a clay bar to get the embedded residue
