Man i had the exact same thing happen to me a few weeks ago. I had tar all over the bumper, windshield, and behind all four wheels on the sides and even on my wheels. I found some stuff at wal mart called tarminator. I know it sounds ghetto, but man that stuff works and its cheap. good luck

Clay bar will most definitely work.

Please see the cleaning/detailing forum.

Or you could post this question on http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums

Wrong forum. Search "bug tar" in the detailing forum.

Last week when i washed my another car, notZ, I noticed a lot of black dots too but on top of my car. I really had no idea what caused that?

Maybe i'll try to use claybar etc... does it matter with which brand?
please recommend !!

The clay bar will definitly help with these.

I've used the Meguiars clay bar in the past with good results. I just recently purchased the Mothers clay bar kit (which I've read is pretty good as well), but I have yet to try it out yet.

Turtle wax bug and tar removal will take it right off, just gotta rub it out.

Be careful when "rubbing it out", road tar will contain sand, dirt and other particles that can scratch your paint. You want let it dissolve off.
