Cleaning Road Tar.

Well the road commision started paving the road out infront of my house today ( A day earlier than they said) and when I got up to go to work the road had the first layer of tar on it. I had no choice but to drive through it slowly to get out to the main road. I now have Tar on my nerf bars, front 1/4's and rear 1/4's and mud flaps and exhaust.

What is a good tar remover that wont damage paint and chrome?

In the past I have used Mineral Spirits but this has always been on my $500 specials that were usually rust and primer grey in color.

Any help would be appreciated. Truck is now parked about 3/4 of a mile away, man was that a fun walk carrying a 18month old, diaper bag, wearing a suit in about 80deg sun! What a day for summer to deceied to come to Michigan LOL.

Thanks in adavance.
