I agree with everybody else, not a scratch.

I had tar sling up more than once from hot country roads and a strong elbow, a clay bar and Meguiar's quick detailer got it off. Although if I did that again I'd hit it with naptha (Zippo lighter fluid) instead. Melts it and is harmless to clearcoats and most paint.

Clay Bar....medium grit and a luber with clay in it. Chemical Guys online. Everything I've ever used that they sell, NEVER disappoints. Goo gone is great too. But if you are like me you know this will happen again, just preparing for the future.

A little gasoline on a rag works well to remove road tar.

Glad that's all it was!

Many of us were waiting to hear that you finally got it resolved

Next time, try not to do that (avoid adding fine scratches), and instead, use goo-gone or WD-40 or any of the other product that were suggested.
