With all the new highway roads being built and repaired in my area,it is hard not to accumulate tar from adhering to your vehicle.As I expected some of this nasty tar found it's way in my wheel wells:
So I thought this would be a perfect time to try out CarPro new TarX:
I went to spray some TarX on the wheel well tar spot but the sprayer nozzle would stay in the down position after EVERY spray.I had to physically pull up the nozzle every time I pressed it.
(sorry for the blurry pic but I was trying to show the TarX 30ml bottle nozzle,stuck in the pressed position)
This is not going to be fun so I transferred the TarX to one of my empty AG sample bottle's:
Ahhh,MUCH better:
I let the TarX sit on the contaminated area for 7min.This is the outcome with NO brush or cleaning tool of any kind.
It did an EXCELLENT job of dissolving the tar:
I noticed some highway spattered bugs on the front fender of my vehicle when rinsing the car off before washing it down.Passenger side:
Driver side:
I was curious how the TarX would perform on spattered bug(guts).So I did a little test to remove the bug debris.
The passenger side would be sprayed with PoorBoys Bug Squash and let to dwell:
and the drivers side sprayed with CarPro TarX and let to also dwell:
These were the results after several minutes of dwelling for each product,with NO agitation of any brushes.Just product dwelling and then spraying off:
PoorBoys Bug Squash
CarPro TarX:
I was surprised that the PoorBoys Bug Squash out performed (without agitation) the CarPro TarX for removal of bug splatter
But
The CarPro TarX kicked the snot out of that Tar :dblthumb2:
