Aaarrrggghhh! Tar!

While riding today I had to cross a construction site where they had just laid fresh asphalt. I could feel the stuff stick to my tires, which then picked up a ton of dirt and grit. I wiped the tires off on some grass as well as I could, then took off down the road. For the next couple of miles it felt like the tires were covered in bubble gum, but by the time I got home most of it was gone from the tires.

My question is: how can I get tar splatters off the frame? I'm sfraid to use acetone or solvents on CF. Would a citrus degreaser work? Or maybe lemon juice?
