    guys, what is your recommended tar remover?

    can't seem to appreciate a clean shiny car with specks of tar underneath and at the lower sides. is it true that it takes time to totally remove tar from your car even with the tar remover applied?

    hope you could help on this? thanks. :wink:

    mel: tar is aspalto... black, gummy dots you see on the side of the car (near the tires) comes from the tar that is poured onto the road during road repairs.

    pyongyong... i like using spray-type tar removers like 3M Tar Remover (P169 a can) if there are A LOT of tar sa car (it rhymes!)... but for spot treatment, a thicker type of tar remover will be less messy (like polyglaze tar remover). Diluted kerosene will work as well but it gets quite messy and streaky, kerosene is not a solvent, it will not remove paint.

    All tar removers will remove wax instantly, so make sure you re-wax the surface after you use a tar remover.

    Thinner siguradong tangal lahat!

    Kerosine lang punas lang ng punas hangang matangal.

    Happed to me few weeks ago, dust ng tar ang dumale sa buong katawan ng kotse. Maghapon akong nag rub ng tar...
