I am using maguarie gold class tar remover.....but it doesnt seem to remove tiny small tar spots on the front bumper. I had to remove them one by one using my finger nails...scratching them lighly using my finger nails.

I had no problem removing larger spots using the same tar remover on my other car.

Any suggestion ?

Try using the tar remover with a claybar. When I had stubborn particles on my car, I just broke out the claybar and it removed things easily.

If you can get hold of it, Autoglym 'Gloss Protector' does an amazing job of removing tar. I know that this is not its intended role in life, but it if far better than all the products I have tried that claim to be tar removers. Not cheap, but it makes the job so easy. Just disolves the stuff. And you can be sure it wont damage your paint.

I use a claybar also and it works great. Also, if you have a coat (or several coats) of Zaino the tar practically will wipe off. It is the best car finish product I have used to date (and I've tried many in the past, but only Zaino for my stook!).

This stuff stands up to the hype! Easy on and off, AND great quality shine and protection. Sounds like I'm selling this stuff but I don't.
