Anything petroleum based will work but Diesel or Keorsene won't damage the paint. And much, much cheaper than Goof off or Goo Gone althoguh they are good products and will work also.

Didn't your dads teach you guys to keep a bottle of Ronsonol or Zippo lighter fluid in the garage for this purpose... Geez, it even says on the bottle/can that it removes tar... Works great on that sticky glue from price tags too fwiw...

Prep Solv. Same thing happened with my truck. I went to my body shop guy and he came out with Prep Solv and a handful of rags. Wet rags and wipe till clean. Then apply a coat of wax. Prep Solv is what body shops use to remove wax and other crud before painting.
Prep Solv is typically 3 parts VM&P Naptha and 1 part paint thinner. Works great to clean all types of things.

Sometimes, I just use VM&P Naptha (also known as lighter fluid and Coleman fuel).

Xenit from Stoner's is BY FAR the best IMO. 3M is close but Xenit is an aerosol spray hence a lot easier to apply. Works very well on cosmoline too. Goof Off works great on gluey, rubbery stuff but doesn't even compare to Xenit on tar and cosmoline.
