Question for detailing experts
Hello,
My car sustained tar and gravel damage last July on the way to Camaro5 Fest IV.
I am having difficulty getting the tar removal portion of this job resolved.
Any advice as to how this should be tackled?

Diesel Fuel (this is no joke), get a cheap sprayer from the store and put some diesel fuel in it and spray the tar and gravel damage area. Let fuel sit on the tar over night then the next morning use soap and water to wash the fuel and tar off.
Do Not put any diesel fuel on the hood or truck or roof of car because this will damage the paint but on the side of the doors and fenders where the fuel can run off, this will be fine.
Wax the car because this will remove any wax on the car.
If you don't believe me try a small area first.

I think I would probably cry if that happened to our car. I have used WD-40 to remove tar and such, but hesitate to do so on a painted surface. It works good for the undercarriage and wheel well liners.

You could try stoners tarminator to see if that removes the tar. It's available at most autoparts stores.
