Spotted Paint

I had my 06 in at the dealer to have them fix a door fitment issue. When I picked it up, they washed it and sprayed (whatever it is) on the tires. Well they looked great for about a week, then when I went to wash it this weekend, the tires threw all this (tarlike substance) all over the side of the truck likes spots. I tried pretty much dam near everything to get it off....Simple green....bug and tar remover......Waxing it....nothing seems to break it off. On the driver side I did manage to get most of it by rubbing with wax. Any advice?
Thanks
Rich

I have had the same thing happen to me when I get my truck cleaned by other people. I have to remember what I used to get it off but I remember that it wasn't easy. Have never put any type of tire cleaner or stuff to make it look new since.

I will look later tonight and try to see what it was that I used and post if no has said anything about it.

Thanks DN. I would appreciate it. I never use anything on my tires either just for that specific reason.

My door adjustment was the drivers side front was kicked in a little too much at the bottom of the door. Every time I would open the door, the bottom corner of the door would contact the body. They pulled the door out a bit , and just painted that small section of body.
