    Medyo naparami-rami na yung smudge ng asphalt sa kotse ko, ano ba yung magandang pang tanggal nun?

    I tried gasoline once before and natanggal nga. Pero baka masisira pa yung paint in further use of gasoline or kerosene.

    Sa Genki Car Spa sa banawe they use kerosene. Oks lang siguro basta wax mo agad after.

    no to gasoline cloth with kerosene to soften up the asphalt, then shampoo, rinse and dry then finish off with favorite wax.

    kerosene will be ok, as long as you wash and wax it afterwards.
    meron ding 3M asphalt remover na nabibili, kaya lang, mas mura pa din talaga ang kerosene.

    The big killer on paint is brake fluid, alcohol is bad but it usually evaporates before any harm is done.

    Have you tried mineral spirits? I found that the best thing to use and it doesn't damage the paint finish. I used to use this on my old car to remove tar and it didnt damage the paint, but wash it right away just for safe.

    Again, this is done by me on over 12 years old car not a brand new car. So if your car is relatively new I cannot give you a guarantee that it wont harm the paint. Try it in a very small spot, if nothing happen...it works.

    Kerosene lang ang katapat nyan. Mas mura pa. Hugasan lang pagkatapos.

    paint thinner route is too drastic....
    you may use kerosene or a commercial bug and tar remover.
