Petrol has numerous uses in cleaning provided care / common sense is taken. May not be best for paint but can be used as a "cleaning" product. Besides the op never said paint specifically.
I take it your bored and trying to stir, if you don't know petrol can clean.

1: it doesn't do as good a job as quick 2: its friggen expensive compared to WD40

Second that for kerosene.Just make sure you polish your car when your done as kero will strip of the polish too.

No johnny, i'm not bored BUT i do get annoyed when ill- informed people give out ill-informed advice.

Firstly I am not ill informed, petrol can be used for cleaning in general and considering the op never said what on the car they are going to clean tar off with then yeah. AND other products can also damage paint but common sense and care needs to be taken. As well as re waxing.
Also please don't call me johnny just as preference.

Hey ad--In fairness -You are dealing with new /green paint whichI agree 1000%% never let petrol near it. But old/hard paint actually handlesbeing WIPED!Splashed with petrol pretty well--IF you get it off again pretty fast I must add I wouldn't recommend it as first line of attack for any number of reasons.

im a truck driver and have to clean tar off my trucks regularly. the most cost effective way i have found is good old kerosene. buy a cheep pressure garden sprayer and spray the kero on and rub the bigger spots off with a kero soaked rag. i recommend wearing gloves. to extend the life of the sprayer flush it with water
