seem to be noticing a lot of what seems to look like small tar deposits down the side of my car, can always see them when i clean it.

if i try getting these off, it leave a lasting mark on the paintwork.

what is the best thing to get these off? and recommended products?

all i use is autoglym bodywork shampoo and super resin polish, never bothered with any of this clay stuff etc before so i'm a little confused

5/6 quid, just a dab of meths on a bit of kitchen roll, no messier than using official stuff

Autoglym tar remover is THE single best product in the Autoglym range ever.

i use petrol to get rid of tar deposits, the best way ever! wipe it on and leave to soak for a min or two, then rub it off, easy as pie

A clay bar is also a good thing to remove tar with. If you keep on top of doing it every time you give the car a bath it's quite effortless
