Ok, I went home on leave for 2 weeks, to MN, land of road construction. Anyways, out driving one day, and go up and over a little hill, right as i get on the other side, there's no warning of road work, or anything, but they are filling in some holes and cracks with tar. well i'm going about 35-40, can't stop so, slowed down a little bit, and looked at my car afterwords. there is tar on my bumper, and on the bottoms of my mirrors... what is the best way to get this crap off? All help appreciated.

 

just go to home depot or lowes...or even like autozone or ne other car place... they should sell tar removers....i forgot the name of it off the to of my head...but i had the same problem where a little bit of tar got on my car....just use a bit of it and wipe it off...works pretty new....and bam~~ its brand new....just make sure that u use the rite soft cloth to apply and wipe off the tar with, which they also sell at autozone, etc....just look in the car care section....hope this helps...

 

thanx

 

no prob bro.....and damn...my grammer and spelling sux~!! im drunk~! hahah~!

 

If you want to remove it without affecting the finish (wax, polish and whatnot), use detailing clay. Most chemicals that will cut through a petroleum based tar will also cut through the finish on the car.

 

Carb or Brake cleaner will take that **** off like nothing!

 

I just use wd-40 works like a charm.

 

thanx, ill be picking some up tomorrow. will that mess with the paint at all?

 

get mothers clay bar!

 

goof off

 

3M Adhesive Remover, comes in a metal can with nozzle tip. Great for removing anything that doesn't belong stuck to the paint.

 

just fyi pretty much any petrol product will work for removing tar, hell even gasoline (not that you should use gas).

 

Bug and Tar remover, its at wal mart.

 

ok i picked up some turtle wax bug and tar remover, just gotta wait for a cool enough day to do it.

thanx for all the help

 

lol nycrazy typing and booze dont go along with each other pretty well, eh?
