Black tar like stuff

I used Prestone bug and tar remover. You have to work at it and use a bunch af small rags but it will clean it off and not damage the paint. A follow-up coat of wax and it will look perfect. Takes some time but it really makes the engine bay and under hood look great.

The material is actually a wax type substance and the dirt it attracts makes it black.
