You could try the goof-off that's safe for plastics. It's a mild water-based version of the original. Seems to work pretty good for stubborn grime. Worked pretty good on getting the dealer's name off my spare tire cover!

Tar can typically be removed easily with WD-40 and will not harm anything.

I use a clear coat safe bug and tar remover on my fenders. I don't let it sit on the paint for more than 30 secs and it works great.

WD-40 is perfect...just remember to re-polish/wax those areas!

I have always used a well lubricated (I know I'm going to get grief for this) clay bar! Worked really well on the vette!

Actually, if you let enough dirt and bugs build up on your Hummer, they will form a protective coating!
