Slimey Grimey works well. There is a new cleaner called Wonder Foam or something like that, anyone know what that stuff is? In a pinch, I have used WD40 on a rag, removes tar pretty well.

Goo Gone is great stuff! Good old gas on a rag works good for tar. Auto parts stores have bug/tar remover that will ease up a little of the elbow grease needed tho.

If your wife has some Avon Skin So Soft, it works awesome. Spray it on, let it sit a bit, comes right off.

Believe it or not, olive oil works pretty good. Oil based products dissolve other oil based products...(It also works to get the black hockey stick tape marks off car interiors too)!
