There are plenty of products that will remove asphalt, just make sure to wash it off quickly and reapply wax afterwards. WD40 works well.

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Run a brush over it?..... What is that?

I think you meant....Carefully keep wet with a mixture of Kerosene and 1/2 ounce of carwash soap applied with a spray bottle until you see the tar liquify and begin to run down the paint then you rinse and repeat until there is no more tar. Then you give it a thorough handwash with lots of foamy soap and warm water and then wax.

Right?

I got good result using Turtle's Tar and Bugs removal.

skyboi has the ticket. Kerosene works real good on tar and his combination with the car soap keeps the mixture safe for your paint and other parts of your truck.

thanks a lot for the suggestions... skyboi i was referring to a soft wash brush with soap. the kerosene mixture sounds like my best bet
