Cleaning off tar?
My wife's Peugeot 107 is covered externally with tiny black spots, which I believe are the result of road resurfacing nearby. It is too late to pursue with either the highway authority or the contractor. What is the best way to remove these tar spots? The paint is red non-metallic.

Have them professionally removed. There will be products in Halfords, etc., but she could seriously damage the paintowrk trying to use them, so best to go to a professional.

My car is left outside on a daily basis. As a result the window seals have gone green with moss growth. How can I clean this off with out damaging the bodywork?
Will using bleach or a weed killer to get rid of green moss/lichen on my paintwork? Or will it simply damage the bodywork?
I purchased a 2012 Jaguar XJ (12 plate) six weeks ago from an authorised Jaguar dealer, with about 22,500 miles on the clock. After purchase I waxed the car with Autoglym and it looked great.
Now after...
