Yea, but if you don't want to die... I've had good success with Bug and Tar Remover by Turtle Wax.

Gas will damage the clearcoat.

Go bug and tar remover it is amazing. After 2 months in the Jeep so much tar had built up on the bottom half that I would have swore it was black and white two tone. Took about half an hour and half a can but it cleaned it up nicely.

Tarminator by Stoner works well and says it is safe on clearcoat. Stoner also makes an amazing glass cleaner called invisible glass.

B&T remover removes wax also.

I use Turtle Wax brand in the black spray bottle. It'* best to apply wax after you use it.
