Sorry this isn't a crazy in depth review and sorry the product worked so well and so fast all the tar was gone before I even thought of getting my phone or camera to take some pics. :dblthumb2:
I had my wheels off adjusting my coilovers today and noticed a few blobs and streaks of tar far inside the wheel well I managed to miss eleven months ago when I was forced to drive over freshly laid tar in a then two week old car (yeah I was pissed that day). I put a bit of ObliTARate on a rag and wiped over the tar and it was gone, vanished, no more, obliterated for sure haha. Eleven month old hardened on tar was no match for this stuff, very impressive. It came off with just a few rubs of the rag with hardly any pressure at all. I don't ever remember using a tar remover that effective before. I thought I might have to let it dwell or use a lot of it but for an eraser size blob of tar one close up spray on the rag making a concentrated wet area about the size of a half dollar on the rag was enough to get rid of it with a few wipes and continue on to take out all the little tar blobs and streaks around it.
For working on paint to be safe I'd spray a bit on the tar and a bit on the rag so it dissolves more before you attack it lessening the chance of any still hard bit marring the paint. Since I was working in a wheel well I was prepared to have to rub and only sprayed the rag since I was just cleaning little spots here and there but I hardly needed to rub at all.
I should also note I had used 1Z Einszett Anti-Insekt Bug and Tar Remover to remove the tar on my car eleven months ago when it first happened and it needed a lot more product, dwell time when sprayed on and more rubbing and wasn't anywhere near as effective as ObliTARate. It also had the advantage of dealing with fresh tar, not dried on nearly year old tar and still struggled with it a bit. Anti-Insekt is quite good on bugs though, for tar it's not as impressive.
If I find any more tar when I detail my truck in the next few days I'll be sure to take pics that time. Was too impressed with how easy it removed it on my car that the thought of pics for a review vanished with the tar.
