Tar removal...

[ALLN1WASH]

How's it going AG? I'm working on a few cars today that are all victims of a newly tared road. Generally I'm able to remove this with just a pre wash treatment and elbow grease. Well that's not the case today, how do y'all go about removing heavy tar from the vehicles in a "paint friendly" way.

I sent my partner to advance to pick up some OTC( turtle wax tar/bug removal), an we had little success with that also.

Help me out AG...Feed back please

Tarminator is basically the same thing but 10x more expensive.

While I haven't tried it myself yet, Dodo Juice Tarmalade is getting positive feedback.

P21S Total Auto Wash works really good for removing Tar from the paint surface.
