best way to remove tar from rocker panel

I tried using normal car wash detergent but didn't work , what is the best product to remover the tar? I heard WD-40 -- does it actually work? Will I have to rewax the area if I use WD -40? Any other products that are recommended?

I haven't tried it but a detailer told me hot water. Oh never mind, I read it wrong, hot water works on sap.
