WD40 will take it off with a lot of elbow grease.

Anyone that has fished out of Redondo more than a few times has run into it. There is oil seeping from the canyon there which can get pretty thick when the wind is down.

Might give Simple Green a try. I have poured it on my pants when I have gotten oil or grease on them and just threw them in the washing machine. Took it out every time.

i would test on some similar scrap plastic but oven cleaner would probably do a number on that tar, with aid of a lot of elbow grease. I don't think there is a way around giving the ol' guns a workout.

So a little secret...car wax.
Try to get the liquid type as it is much easier to work with. Yeah, the green tub of Turtle Wax will work just fine too, but liquid Meguiar's or Mother's is best. You can even find it at your local grocery store usually. Keep that knowledge in your back pocket. The stuff will remove anything from harder surfaces. Maybe 2x-3x/ year, I do the entire bottom of the kayak. Hard water stains on your car window? Gone. You get the idea. Probably half of the scratches you have on your cars/trucks will come off with car wax. Removal from your waders is a different story. Can't help you there Tony.

Diesel fuel is the best thing to clean hydrocarbons with.
Hydrocarbons cleaning hydrocarbons, go figure...
