My current car hasnt had a proper clean, probably in a few years and its got a big build up of tar near the arches.

Agreed, although AutoSmart Tardis is amazing if you can find it.

Will damage your paint though if you're just polishing it out, best off using something that will dissolve or soften it first.

Tardis or autoglym tar remover then a claybar, all you'd do is create more work and waste the clay bar quicker if you just use that.
