| March 2, 2006 Robo2 238 posts | As Pine Tar is an organic base, you might try Nail Polish Remover as it is Acetone. Or try Isopropyl Alcohol. These may remove the paint so be careful. |

They were trying to clean up some dinning room chairs and said the weakest solvent was paint thinner. They named a total of four but I only remembered three, paint thinner, acetone, and lacquer thinner. You might even want to try some waterless hand cleaner such as GoJo. |

Leave it to dwell on the spots you want to remove for about 5 min. Hope this helps. |
| March 2, 2006 Lefty Men's 75 721 posts | I use Goof Off remover to clean my bats. It doesn't damage the paint job and removes everything I wanted to remove. You don't have to rub that hard. I bought the Goof Off at Wal Mart. |
| March 2, 2006 hombre Men's 60 240 posts | Turpentine removes tar. It's still recomended for removing tar from auto finishes. It'll work and it's cheap. What you have left over can be used for paint remover. |
| March 3, 2006 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I just remembered the 4th solvent, kerosene. Paint thinner, kerosene, Acetone, and lacquer thinner. |
| March 3, 2006 Cobrapilot Men's 50 27 posts | I would think that the "Bug & Tar Remover" that you buy at auto parts stores would work. You may even have some sitting on the shelf in the garage. I have used soft scrub and it has worked also. |
