    Road tar on wheels

    I was doing a quick wash before heading to the football game Saturday (Go MIZZOU!) and after spraying off the wheel cleaner, I noticed there was some residual road tar spots remaining on the wheels. They are coated aluminum stock Jeep 17" wheels. The clear coat is starting to degrade in spots. What is the easiest/fastest way to remove? Thanks.

    Thanks rcg. I do not have Tarminator in the stash right now. I will have to compromise with what other solvents I can find in the garage, shop, shed, house.
