Tar remover

Do not use clay to remove tar, it will work, but that's a really fast way to making a mess of paint, and existing clay.
In bulk buy, Tardis. Smaller sizes autofinesse oblitarate. For the halfords shopper, autoglym intensive tar remover

i us the AG one also 
I just brought the at stuff the other day. It's really good as well and only costs £4.49 a bottle

I wouldn't say it was a waste for those not interested or knowing of detailing, just may require a couple of hits compared the the likes of Tardis.
cupman, get a bottle and wipe over the affected panels with a microfibre, DO NOT let it dry, it will probably require a couple of passes then wash again when finished.

AG Tar & Glue Remover was perfectly adequate to remove some pretty horrendous tar / old sticker residue off mine.

Again, yes it will work, but won't do your paint any favours and won't work as well as a dedicated tar remover.
Ag intense tar remover is 'ok' but you do need to keep at it. I'm going to try something new as now I'm doing 60 miles a day to and from work I'm getting a lot of crap stuck to the car.

Jaff. You need to read the instructions mate. Tardis is head and shoulders above any tar remover on the market. And cheaper! 5 litres for £15 ish.
Unless you buy off ebay of course.
Anyway I use the little square mf apps. Spray onto damp/wet (clean) car leave to work. Spray MF app/cloth lightly with tardis before wiping over paintwork. A bone dry cloth will obviously feel harsh.
Those little square apps give bit and don't fold like the cloths do.

When I say brush I don't mean a garden brush, a soft bristled brush on heavily contaminated areas, just like the white car above.
Ill try a MF applicator next time but it seems counter productive to me
i did buy 5l of the stuff ages ago due to the rave reports it was having

Remember, you must use it neat. Do not dilute it.

As said I just applied left it to to work for a few mins and then misted onto a mf and wiped over with that, You'd normally decon and clay anyway when hitting with a tar remover so going to have a little bit of contact with the clay anyway but not enough that a good polish etc. wont cure.
