tar removal suggestions
I have some tar splattered along bottom of doors and behind wheels from road construction. Does anyone know of a good product to use to get it off. I would rather do it myself than pay to have a detail shop to remove it.

Go to your local kragen/pep boys whatever.. and pick up some Tar & Bug removal. I had some crap that was old as sin just setting in the garage and was still effective at taking off hardened tree sap and tar off my car. Getting a particular brand didn't seem to be a show stopper for me.

get some of those orange formula cleaners. it works real good
|
Whatever you find to take it off make sure that you wax afterwards because most of the protection will be gone.
|
Amen to that (waxing afterward). Most of the tar removers out there use petroleum distillates of one manner or another that'll take it down to the clear coat.
|
WD40 with a water-dampened terry towel. Wax the area when you're done.
|
wd 40 works great

I use Simply Green every time I wash. I just spray around the areas most likely to pick that stuff every time. Keeping those areas clear constantly this way has prevented me from needing a bug and tar remover ever since I started it. I also have a 3M adhesive remover for anything that is really sturborn. Haven't needed it for this, but could help you if it's bad.

Haha now I will tell you all a secret. For Sap and most other crap... try a Baby Wipe! You think I jest, but really I am serious. I lived in a foresty area for awhile, and NOTHING was as good at removing sap as a baby wipe.
Don't know why there work so well, but they do. |
