yes and yes. 3M adhesive remover works even better and is also safe.

The 3M is very good, but it quite a bit more "toxic" using it. At least the WD has a pleasant odor.......

Safe to use on paint. Just remember to re-wax the area you used it on.

I would use a cleaner wax to make sure you remove everything that WD-40 leaves on the paint.
If you dont remove all of the WD-40 it may make the paint splotchy.
But yea, it should be just fine to use. :)

Before I got into karting, I had no idea what a great cleaner WD-40 is. :) We use it to clean everything on the kart but the brakes. Oil, chain lube, tire marks, grass, dust-you name it. I go though a supersized can abut once a month. :)

Reminds me of a friend who put Armour All on his brake pedal....

WD-40 won`t damage paint in any way. Dunno if plain water is sufficient to remove it, though. Maybe some car soap is better.

it might hide it for a few weeks or till it rains
but I don`t think it will take care of it

On tar, skip WD40 and adhesive remover and go straight to lacquer thinner. Nothing is stronger on tar.
