anyone got any ideas or experiences on how to remove tar from their a car?

 

What part of the car would help greatly

 

lower sides of the rear bumper... the place where u get mud when u go through a puddle

 

I use Ronsonal cigaret lighter fluid (naptha) in the blue and yellow can on my glacier pearl painted surfaces with excellent results. It is a very mild solvent and does not dull the clear coat on my car at all. YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY--test first on a part of the same finish but in a location that you don't mind testing on. It will also remove tar from your carpeting and plastic sill plates. If you do use the lighter fluid in your interior you might want to finish up by doing a final clean with Resolve carpet cleaner with teflon-great stuff, smells good.

 

I agree I would use just regular gasoline, it should come off with easy.

 

Try a bug and tar remover for autos.
If that doesn't work try something stronger like the WATER based Goof Off! product.
Be sure to polish and wax after using any of these recommendations.

 

soak with gasoline, and follow up with a lighted match.... always does the trick...

 

I use "goo-gone". But like they said, make sure ya wax it afterwards.

 

Use WD-40.... wont mess with paint or plastic. Spray on, work in with your finger and wipe it off. Wash the surface after that to remove the film.

I used lighter fluid too remove VHT from the track followed by a quick coat of wax

 

Armor All has an all surface cleaner that I just used a couple of weeks ago. Worked perfect. Got it at Napa / Carquest / Target.

 

Bug and Tar remover has always worked for me....

 

3M Adhesive remover for all of your removal needs on paint, cloth, vinyl etc...

 

Some cotton ***** and either gasoline or kerosene will quickly remove it. Then remember to wash the area.

 

Meguire's cleaner wax has been effective for me.
