Got to my car tonight and found what looked like spider webs/silly string on the back of my car. Sad ( I found an burst empty can of cider ) I managed to scrap it off the windows using a razor blade, but hot water and car shampoo. can't shift it. Not sure what could work? Would a tar removing cleaning stuff damage my paintwork?

    used some kind of thinners that the valet lads at work use. Left a bit of a stain on the paintwork, think I'll need to try polish and buff it.
