Can WD-40 remove tar ?

I seem to recall somewhere in the forum that someone suggest that wd40 could remove tar and some sticky stuff on the paint. I have tried using claybar, its too sticky that it won't really come off. Would WD40 work in removing it ? would it hurt the paint ?
thanx

I wholeheartedly agree with Type S. Have used WD40 as a tar remover for years. Great stuff. It won't hurt the paint, as long as you don't leave it on. Wash with car-wash soap.

If the claybar is too sticky is because you are not using enough lube. You need to use tons and tons of lube

WD-40 work really well!!!!! I use it all the time for tar and some bug removal. You really need to use some elbow grease though.
