�
�
after a wash the other day i noticed i had some streaks of tar (i think) on my side panels. anyways, i was wondering whats the best way to remove this crap?

I use Quik detailer mist and some elbow grease.
If that doesn't work, I will use Klasse AIO. If that doesn't work, then
I use Bug and Tar remover. Hope that helps.

Mother's cleaner wax works pretty well for road tar. So does a clay bar.

I use Bug and Tar remover by Turtle Wax I believe. It works good and won't harm your paint

Word, works well on gum and nasty bird crap that gets stuck in real good.

Snap - Clay Bar. Be sure to use plenty of lube. Lube.....what a weird word. :D Damn my job for driving me to smoke so much pot!

thanks you all. ran down to autozone and tried the claybar approach. it takes quite a bit of rubbing but it comes off slowly but surely. i also tried claybaring a patch on the hood and WOW! i had no idea my paint could feel so silky. its amazing. after the next wash im doing the whole car and concluding with a wax. thanks again for the quick replies

I use Reducer on the bottom of bumpers that I repaint and it takes all the tar off with the quickness ;)

Make sure you re-wax it after you do it, cause those products will strip the layer of wax you have on there.....

have you ever tried mineral spirits -can get them from home depot?? i think this works the best and easiest.

Do not use that,it will take your paint off the car!
Use bug & tar remover,walmart has it & it works wonders.

Yeh, I would advise against mineral sprits.
Along with gasoline, paint thinner, hydrochloric and sulfuric acids and egg whites. ;)

It won't take the paint off....it will take the wax off and maybe if you scrubed hard enough, start to break down the clear coat but a small dab followed by a wash will be fine...I personally use a little gas and don't have a problem...

If you have just little specs stuck to your car, I recommend goo-gone. Usually you need to apply it for 10-15 minutes before wiping it off, but I've just put some goo-gone on a rag and wiped off the tar without any waiting.

get the clay bar and spray that comes with it.

Peanut Butter works to get tar off your paint as well, if you don't want to go out and buy a special product.

+1 for the bug and tar remover it works great

After the claybar, treat your car to some Zaino ([url]www.zainobros.com)[/url]. The tar will come off instantly next time.. along with tree sap, bird droppings, you name it.

RejeX works well as a paint protectant as well...
Remember to be careful, as tar with aggrigate (stones, pebbles that the tar may pick up, as it is sticky) will scratch the finish...

Stoner's Tarminator ftw

Peanut butter and olive oil both work.
| speedmonkee | 01-31-2006 05:50 PM |
+ 1 on Rejex. Stuff works!

Tarminator, Turtle Wax - dedicated bug & tar removers are a safe bet.

For ease of use and quick action, I prefer a solvent. Any number of paint-safe solvents (Meguiar's Body Solvent, Meguiar's APC, DP Exterior Surface Cleaner) are extremely fast and easy to use without the slimy cleanup of gel-type bug/tar removers.
Clay + Tar = messy. I prefer to clean up the bulk of the slopped on tar with a solvent, then clean up any very fine spots or leftover streaks with the clay. This way you run less risk of picking up nasty grit into the clay and there's less elbow grease required. Clay should not be pressed into the paint, just lightly glided over the surface to shear down the contaminants.
Pressing clay = scratches and marring.
