Stain/tar on bumper trim?

My car is starting to have these stain mark on the edges on the trim throughout the whole car. Im not sure what this stuff is but it wont come off from a regualr car wash and its not rust either. What can i use to remove this stuff without any damage to my paint?

Goo Gone or good old clay bar.

Yup! - common - Mine is due for a clean again. I use Benzine or Illuminating Kerosene to take it off & follow up with Mequiar's Scratch X which is designed to remove "bonded contaminants"

Meguir's clay bar works perfectly for me to get rid of these stains.

Youll be surprised at how much contamination builds up on our cars even over a few months of regular use!

I agree with Trini.. Every car needs a good barring every once in a while!
