claybar works great! I used mothers to get rid of those types of stains. Just make sure you use a good lube and go over it a couple of times.

yes. rumor is that we have no clearcoat but it will take some paint off and dull the finish so bad that polish or wax can't restore it. i use meguiars paint cleaner to take off road grime/tar. its good and safe. but its so safe that it may not remove a bad mark. if it doesn't you could try some polishing compound but its still pretty abrasive so be very light. rubbing compound would only be a last resort. meguiars paint cleaner is the way to go.
