Removing tar from deep scratch?

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?
