I put a little too much muscle trying to remove stuck-on tar with my microfiber washing mitt the first time around, leaving swirl marks. The second time I thought I would just gently remove tar using my fingernails, but again ended up scratching (what I hope is only) the clear coat. Now I've purchased some BMW Tar Remover and will give that a try next time.

I would honestly love to get the whole car covered in a clear bra, but it's prohibitively expensive and doesn't seem to last long enough.

Assuming you're not having much luck either with the Melbourne Red?
On the 2nd day I had my x4 home, my 2 boys (4 and 2) decided to creat some new artwork for daddy's new car's passenger door. only they used a rock for a crayon and the nice red paint job for their paper. dealer was able to buff out most of the marks but 3 scratches were too deep. will have it painted sometime in the future. Swirl markd do not bother me anymore.
