Road Tar

Tar remover works well for tar that has been on there for a long time. If it's relatively fresh, you can hit it with clay.
 
Bug squash works very well at getting most things that get stuck to paint off. I use it full strength as a pre treat and then go over with my wash mitt, it gets mostly everything off. Clay the rest.
 
Mineral sprits is also another non abrasive product that I use at the wash stage....Its cheap and available at any decent hardware store
 
The one time I really got into a mess on a freshly oiled/tarred road that I was unable to avoid, I used kerosene and just washed the tarred panels with it on a rag. It did a good job of removing the road tar and was easily washed off when I was finished. I did polish and seal the area again since it had to remove at least some of the protection.
For small areas, I use a tar remover and I have also heard that WD-40 works as well.

Exactly what I was going to say. You've never seen something cooler than tar dripping away after spritzing some mineral spirits on it. I've never used a tar remover that can hold a candle to mineral spirits. of course, I wouldn't hold a candle too close to that stuff anyway. I think it is flamable.
