| Don't you hate
When this:    
Becomes this:  
I'm not sure what it is, some sort of road tar or oil. This is a buddies wife car that we just detailed this weekend. He texted me those pictures yesterday. He's bring the car back out this weekend.
Anyone got any suggestions on what to use to get this off (OTC product preferably)? From what he tells me it all the way down both sides.

Tarminator, clay, and lots of time and possibly elbow grease.

It looks like asphalt sealant or road oil from a gravel road.
I'd try prep sol if it doesn't clean with a good APC.

What that needs is a different detailer. I'd rather clean up the other guy's swirls than to mess with that mess, yikes!! Like was said above, try some Tarminator and have a pressure washer available. That's gross!!

LOL
Sadly, I have NEVER needed anything to remove tar etc so I hardly have anything in that category.

buy undercoat sealant at any parts store for the wheel wells. looks perfect and will save you hours of time. tarminator or 3 m adhesive remover for the paint though.

I'm pretty sure whatever product you use will strip the LSP so be sure to reapply.

That stuff can be tricky sometimes. If nothing else is working, try dish soap. Its worked for me in the past.
