    I`m detailing my dad`s 8yr old q45 (never been clay`d, waxed, etc..., washed like once every 2 to 3mths :hm ) - had to go through 3 clay bars before I stopped pulling crap off the paint, but there`s 1 area that is vexing me - on the rear lower quarter panel he`s got a ~3`` scratch. It`s pretty deep, you can stick your nail in it pretty much.



    At some point in time he went through some tar and the side was splashed with it - cleaned it all off, except for the tar that`s lodged inside the scratch.



    Is there any simple way to "pull" it of the scratch? Like I said, the scratch is pretty long and deep and the tar has made a nice home there, so I`m thinking it`s stuck there without wetsanding and getting really hardcore abotu it......

    Tarminator or other paint safe solvent like mineral spirits.

    I`ve already tried several bug & tar removers (turtle wax, goof off, etc...) - they lifted the tar easily enough from everywhere else but inside the scratch ..... how will mineral spirits be any different?
