removing road gunk from paint

Hi all

I'm a noob that has a question. I have a new white GT/CS and have gunk on my paint by the wheels from the road i assume. What is the best product and process to clean this stuff off. Its a thick oily substance maybe tar or a mixture of stuff.

any help is appreciated

My method is to use a bug and tar remover (Canadian Tire), followed by a good wash using Dawn dish soap and then polish and wax.

I use Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover and a "bug" sponge. It gets that white paint nice and clean again.

Never used the turtle wax product. I'm going to have to give that a try.

Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover. Usually you can find it at Canadian Tire, comes in a green spray bottle, about $8.99.
