Road Tar Question Advise needed

I was driving the other day and unfortunately drove over freshly sprayed tar (the liquid/sticky stuff they spray prior to putting the asphalt down). I was able to remove the tar from the wheel well/covers with bug and tar remover but the mud guards are very thick with that crap and I think the tar remover won't touch it. Anyone has any suggestions to remove it other than buying a new set.

 

WD-40. Works awesome on tar.

 

Sound like a good excuse to yank those mud flaps off to me.

Just keep trying, i'm sure it will come off.

 

Try some Stoner Tarminator spray. The same company that makes Invisible Glass window cleaner. It will melt it off in no time.

 

Gasoline might help. just be careful.

 

Simple Green, mineral spirits, WD-40, pressure washer, adhesive remover, Goo-Gone, GoofOff, Hoppe's No. 9, CLP...I'm just naming crap I have and would try.
Second thought, go back and get your frame coated.

 

Kroil.....works wonder on cutting the cosmoline off old military rifles

 

I had the same thing happen to a white truck I had and used diesel, its easier and cheaper.

 

id try paint thinner or diesel just be careful is all

 

wd40 is your best bet, it's oil based just like the tar. then some spray nine, you should be good after that. if you want use some soap and water for final cleaning.

 

Goo Gone is the best on tar spray!

 

diesel fuel will remove tar.

 

Kerosene works great.
