Hi,

For Tar I recommend this:

However it's also worth de-contaminating any iron at the same time:

Any questions drop me a note, detailing is my passion!

i have spent thursday and friday removing black and orange spots off bottom of both doors and boot lid using both ag srp and tardis tar and glue remover but tht still doesnt shift some of them without a lot of elbow grease. very annoying

Hi Matt,

Shouldn't need elbow grease, which might also inflict marring.....have you tried claying it?

Clive,
Just looking at this stuff - is this the best spray to use?? I have autoglym intensive tar remover which doesn't work very well. Plus it doesn't spray on, I have to use a cloth with it. My car is covered in tar spots and its doing my head in!!

Ta,

Pete

your right tar spots are a pain to get off the whites my dad spent 3 hours detarring mine by buffing and using tar remover! Stupid really as it had somehow even got into the door sills !

[WTF]

I spent two days cleaning tar off mine a few weeks back (late starts and got dark early), at the point now of never cleaning it again it was such a soul destroying few hours. I really don't want to repeat it.

Used Autoglym intensive tar remover and a clay bar.

I have never used a clay bar before WTF - how do you use it ?

Clay thread

You'll need a lubricant, such as a quick detailer (QD) and a Clay bar.

After a mega clean, spray the QD on and rub the clay bar over, it will lift any impurities and remove stains such as tar. Really easy. Just work in small areas and keep it sprayed with QD

Get good results:

Oh that looks nice, thanks..... just read the thread too

I have to ask is that kerbing on your poor alloy ??

So is everyone looking forward to the summer when in addition to all the normal paint contaminants you also get Bee shit on the paintwork (mustardy coloured small circles) ?? My previous car was a magnet for them for some reason and I spent ages washing it all off every week....

You could have that refurbished for probably not too much cash ? Then WTF would be beautiful again....

OMG this is post 666 !!!!
