We had to remove Graffiti which was tar that had been brushed on to garage doors, we used petrol to remove it!

Hope this helps ;)

Careful with Petrol, H & S take a real dim view of this.

Most car spares places sell a safe to use tar remover which will shift this for you.

De-odourised kerosene will do the same job but without the fire hazard

Sorry Denise, didn't mean to get you in trouble ;)

I will give de-odourised kerosene a go next time Karl

 :) I used petrol to remove gum in a play centre last week - these things are great if you happen to have them but who does ?
