I washed the car and it is literally Spattered all over with thick tar spots, must be from all the damned pot hole repairs been done locally, I think they're too big for even a clay bar to take off, will need to get some tar remover from Halfords first I think. I was going to clay the car anyway, now I have an excuse.

White spirit seems to work well, or failing that petrol on the worst tar spots.

Yes I suppose petrol is always a good substitute, albeit expensive and dangerous to use while smoking (not that I smoke!)

clay bar, nah far too expensive, try red diesel or if you are feeling flush WD40 not illegal to use on it, just don't what ever you do put it in it otherwise the FFRR may end up being crushed |

I've been claying and pc'ing the RR a Panel per day so I can spend an hour or two and fully de-swirl.

A couple of coats of decent wax after polishing is a must. Especially after using SRP (Autogym Super Resin Polish) as it cuts the paintwork quite severely, thats why it works so well.
