gass can take any wax or zaino off the paint, but i think the clear coat will still be ok. But i would not use it for tar or gum, you can try a little WD-40, but wash it after and it can still remove your wax, so do this with care.

WD-40? Are you serious? On your paint?
If you EVER get gas on your paint I would recco cleaning it asap. When I go to the gas station I always fold a paper towel and hold it underneath the nozzle b4 I pull it out to avoid getting any drops onto my paint. Have you ever noticed how alot of older cars rust around the gas cap? Now you know why.
