Exactly what I was going to suggest.

DO NOT get it on you though.

Wear inspection gloves and double up. (they will still melt though so will need replacing at certain intervals).

Oh yeah make sure you don't drop it either, unless you fancy melting your drive, the earths crust and seeing your car slip down into the planet's molten mantle.

Find out your nearest auto smart stockist, usually a vsn floats about certain areas selling and delivering to companies and you can get from there. Polished bliss sell it online, check out their website and free delivery usually

No, We used it to get all the glue off the trucks after the wraps were removed. Sprayed it on, Left it to soak into the glue then removed with a soft edged plastic scraper and washed off any excess with soapy water.

Totally fine to use as most detailers spray it on to affected areas and then you see it working when the tar starts to run in black streasks

Na it wont damage the paint unless you let it bake on i guess ! It might remove previous wax layers though . Literally spray on , wait for the spots to bleed out for a few seconds and then wipe off with a damp MF cloth . Thats what i done anyway and worked a treat ! If i were you id just re-wash any bits that you do use Tardis on just to be on the safe side though .
