A good tar remover??
What product would you all recommend to remove road tar? I purchased that Bug and Tar remover spray and it really didn't do much of anything.
(They're doing some road work where I reside and I try to avoid going near them but there are no alternative routes to get to work.)

Tar (Asphalt) Removal:
The reasoning for the use of solvents for the removal of road asphalt (tar) is that it dissolves it as a means of removal as opposed to rubbing it. Asphalt (tar) is very sticky and its presence on your paint means that harder particulate matter (dirt/grit) has also stuck to it. By agitating or rubbing the dirt/grit that is contained with the asphalt will cause surface marring or possibly scratching, dissolution alleviates any potential damage.
A solvent (Stoner™ Tarminator) can also dissolve a variety of oil and petroleum based products. It's safe to use on all types of paint, plastics, synthetic fibres, carpet and upholstery. If used on vehicle paintwork re-apply a protect rant after use.
Other uses - it will dissolve chewing gum and adhesives. Use to de-tar wheel rims after cleaning, will also remove shoe scuffmarks from vinyl trim, and can be used to remove tree sap or fuel stains from paint surfaces.
