Default Removing Roof Tar

Hi all

For the regulars, the extension re-work currently under way includes
replacing a flat felt roof with dual pitched tiled alternative.
The problem I have is that there are a number of bricks covered in the tarry
remnants from the old roof sealing attempts. These will be exposed due to
the angle of the roof and the reduced height of the angled flashing.
Is there a cleaning product that will remove this gunk from the surface of
textured brick facings?

TIA

Phil

Petrol and the like will have some effect, but it will be a mare of a
job. best bet is to replace the bricks, the sound like they are at the
top of the wall, so the job won't be too big of one.
