What is the best way to remove pitch from a vehicle without ruining the paint?
The best product to use is a polishing compound. It resembles a wax with grit in it, and you apply it similar to wax. Gently rubbing it in, letting it dry, then buff with a clean cloth. There are orther compounds, with heavier grit, designed to remove, or even work down to the metal on a car’s paint job. The polishing compound, when rubbed lightly, will remove most anything too stubborn to come off with just plain water and soap. Plus, it gives the finsih a nice, deep shine afterwards. Many people routinely use this to renew their auto’s finish. It works better than normal wax because it removes residue build-up that occurs on most paint jobs. This is sold is just about every car care store in the US.
