    Any mild solvent like white spirit or petrol. Do not use paint stripper or nail varnish remover ( acetone ), they will damage the finish.

    Gas and a cloth works fine. Or WD40 if you have it.

    Orange oil,  like Goo Gone.  A solvent.

    Give the tar remover a good shaking. It should still work. Use it with #0000 steel wool or BRILLO pads.
