I'm not sure about pinewood or Turps whatever the hell that is. I use Mother's stainless steel and metal polish or plain old auto wax will take off the tar if there is not too much of it.

The bugs are a different story.they are really baked onto the engine pipe's .the autosol shines em up real pretty ,but I still think I want to remove them I don't like the sound of steel wool no matter how many o's you put in front of it. My thumbnail behind the soapy wash sponge seems to be the only sucsess so far ,but my hand start's to cramp after 3 hour's or so. I might try the pinewood idea
