Use Ronsonol lighter fuel. It's great for removing labels, tar, grease and oil and it won't hurt the paint.

I use simple green, it takes those stains right off.

WD-40, another product no detailer should be without.....Its uses are unlimited.
I like to squirt a little on the lug studs when rotating tires...........Sure would make it easier if I had a flat to repair on the highway......

Has anyone use Meguair's B&T remover or Turtle Wax? If so, thoughts. Cannot find the Meguair's anywhere around me. Would have to order it. Stonier sounds like a good one to try. Want to go over my truck completely before a full clay and wax this season. Thanks!

After I give it a try I'll be sending you one.

PEANUT BUTTER! I kid you not. It will remove tar and other crap on your paint. Sometimes it'll come off easily, other times you'll need to rub a bit harder but it works. I've removed wax that I've accidentally applied to black plastic parts, I've removed tar and grease.

Good tip! If I add jelly to the mix will that add any beneficial significance? Do I wipe off with a rag or a piece of wonder bread? j/k (You should have known some smart-ass would have some smart-ass comment to make). All in fun! Stay away from the crunchy kind, scratches the paint!

The oil in the peanut butter is what makes it work. Personally, I would try WD-40 first. That way your car won't have the neighborhood dogs licking your paint.
