Road Tar

Ok as most of you know I live is shithole NJ.

So apparently the state needs to create jobs so they decided fixing roads in the middle of fucking winter is a good idea, go figure.

So anyway now I have black road tar all over my truck. The fenders doors bed and all up in the inner fender wells.

So my question is what should I use to remove it or should I wait till spring to get it off?

I don't want to take all the wax off the truck and have the paint unprotected with all the road salt still.

Suggestions would be nice.

So you want me to take advice from a 12 year old?

 

Works for me. I never use off the shelf tar remover. WD 40 has a LOT of uses, This is one of them

It works and I am 60 years older than the 12 year old!

 

Haha thanks

 

It seams to be working. Just going to take a lot of time. I'm going to need to buy a few gallons.

 

Take a couple of deep breaths off the rag while your doing this and you won't be as angry when your done

 

Use a solvent that's made for road tar, not saying that wd40 doesn't work but that's not its intended purpose

 

I'm pretty sure goo gone works on tar. It may take a little elbow grease but it's not a harsh solvent.

 

WD-40 has no one intended purpose. It is all powerful multi-use Jesus juice

 

WD-40 was invented to stop corrosion on the atlas missle. That was its intended purpose. A few employees took some home and used it to fix some squeaks on doors around there house and a few other things, so they started to sell it commercially. It's a lubricant, not a solvent but has many uses

 

I actually got to laugh out loud at a few replies on here. That was great.

Great video tip as well!

 

I just bought my truck and decided to wash for the first time tonight.

Sadly I have road tar all over the truck.

My neighbor suggested using a liquid car wax to remove the tar.

Used a Terry cloth with the liquid wax and the tar just wiped off no scrubbing involved.

 

Glad it came off. Try a clay bar next time. Safer for paint.

 

I use a Clay Bar and or a Cleaner Wax to remove Tar Spots on my Vehicles.

 

I have heard gasoline works wonders, however I don't know how paint safe that would be.

 

Not really sure how clay bar is safer than liquid car wax.

To me I am waxing and cleaning at the same time.
