    I second the Goof Off!

    Just be sure to try it on the inner apron first, just to make sure what it will do o the fabric!

    Try concrete/driveway cleaner from Castrol (in the purple jug) Walmart auto dept. Works like a charm as a pre-wash treatment for grease and tar on clothing and so far I haven't seen any fading.

    Unfortunately there is no inner apron to test it on, fortunately it wasn't a kilt that got tar ground in, unfortunately it was my body armor (yes I will be removing the ballistic materiel before I clean it)

    And thanks for the advice!

    An old wives tale - butter. My mother used it when we got tar on our clothes off the roads in summer. Yes it does sometimes get hot here.
