This combo work pretty good removing road tar on paint
I used this combo to remove road tar and tiny sticky stuff on car paint after I clean the car. Not sure if WD40 is safe for car paint.

a quick detail spray or good car wash soap can do the job just fine.

How are you not sure if it’s safe? I wouldn’t use it then. The purpose of WD40 is to act as a lubricant for the clay bar. Well a quick detailer is a lubricant. Now if you can prove WD40 is better and safer then I’d start using it.

Right or wrong...using WD-40 to help remove tar residue from a car is nothing new. I have no idea if it really is safe, good, or bad...I just know people have been doing that for years.

wd-40 is the opposite of a lubricant

People cringe when I tell them I've used kerosene or gasoline to in order to get road tar off but when I worked at dealerships this is what we did. One of my boss's even used paint thinner on interiors to remove stains. Soap WILL NOT help you with road tar and a lot of times neither will a clay bar. I always make sure I wax the area after to seal it.

WD-40 is fine to use on paint. Repainted surfaces I’m not sure but factory paint is fine. I use paint thinner all the time to remove contamination from paint, again, factory paint that is. As long as you wax or polish that area after it’s not a big deal at all.
