Hi Jamjar62, I use autoglym intensive tar remover. Works a treat and removes petrol stains as well

Re: tar remove help
WD40 on a rag or any oily product will do the trick- it basically dilutes the tar down to an oily residue that can just be wiped away.

Bilstein Shocks, Z&F Remap, B&G Coolant Alarm, Glass Rear Screen, Braided Hoses, Bling-free at the moment...but that'll probably change
