Do you want to remove tar from your automobile without removing the paint along with it? If so, spray the tar with any laundry pretreatment solution. Wipe off and the tar will be gone, but not the car paint!

got that off the first site i found in google, the net has everything if ya have a look

Try Turpetine as well

Meguiars Clay Bar will get everything off anything.

Use it on your alloys and then wax them afterwards to make them easier to clean in the future.

Mothers bug & tar wipes are pretty good. Or try desolve it.

Mothers do a clay bar too.

Key is to get it as fresh as you can.

A clay bar can get the thin layers of tar off, but for the thicker parts that have been there for some time, you need a tar remover. Or maybe just give the laundry solution method a shot first.

desolve it.
