tar removal?

welp i got some tar on the brand new white tacoma anyone got any good tips on getting tar off your vehicle safely? What to use were to buy it?

 

A) Get a spray on cleaner/wax (like plexus) and let it soak- Rub gently till it softens and comes off.
B) Get Turtle wax Bug and Tar (or any other brand you like- Just look around for the right stuff)
C) (Last resort) Mayonaise- Wipe some on there and let it sit for about 5-10 mins (Till the tar is soft) and then rub gently to get it off.

Key is to be gentle and take your time to get soft and then not scratch the paint polishing it off.

Good luck!!

PS- Be sure to wash it afterwards to get all of whatever cleaner you use off and then re-wax to make the next time easier to clean up.

 

I use wd-40 to remove tar.

Same here... soak it for a few minutes and it should come off pretty easy...

 

I use the same stuff cleanTRD uses. It even takes off some rub marks that might have been made by the front bumper of a Grand Cherokee...

 

stoner makes some pretty decent stuff for tar removal.

 

Stoner makes some pretty awesome stuff...I'm all about them.
their products are made in Quarryville, PA very close to my house. It's an excellent product line

 

what about some goo gone??

 

their invisible glass is friggin awesome too man!! thats all i use to clean our mirrors and glass in the house and the car/truck!! use it with crumpled newspaper......works great!!

 

i actually love using it with paper towels, i find that the easiest

especially since i only get the paper on Sat and Sun


*edit, if you go on Stoners website, you can enter a daily/weekly drawing for coupons, goodies, shirts and full car care kits...SWEET!
