The family car just took a 2000 mile ride on an auto transport. When I
picked it up, I noticed something had splattered all over the auto and ran
down before drying. I have no clue as to what. Looks maybe like tar that
dried. Just maybe, the car was on the lower deck and the one above was
leaking something.

Anyway, today I fired up the 4000 psi 4 gpm 200 degree pressure washer.
(This is just like a hand car wash wand on steroids) After 1/2 hour of
washing, I can see this ain't going to get it.

What should I try from here? Don't want to remove the finish but need some
serious stain removal power.

Ditzler PPG DX-330 "Acryliclean" will remove almost anything like
that, and it's safe for use on car paint. That's exactly what it is
made for. Find it at an auto paint supply place, as Lowells' in Mnpls
(several stores) or whatever supplier you have that's closer.
