As we know most TW products are miss and occasional hit. So since I am Trinidad the people we are helping left us there car to use for the year. Very nice of them btw. It is a Silver 07 Nissan March. Well their idea of maintenance is wash and that is all. I have slowly acquired products to clean and wax. They have had tar on the car for over a year. Products are hard to come by and found TW bug and Tar new Rx to try. Sorry no pics as I have been messing with custom ROM's on my phone and it doesn't work at the moment.

Prep:
Washed the car and dried. Sprayed product and let dwell for 5 min. It sprayed on thick with a liquid wax consistency and did not run off.

Removal:
I wiped product off with a sponge with soapy water. 90% of the tar came off with initial wipe. The remain spots (pin dot) came off with a minimal elbow grease. Then I rewashed each spot and reapplied wax.

Final Thoughts:
It did its job. The instructions suggest that after wipe off you buff to a shine, which I did not do. Even if it did not remove LSP the removed tar spots would not have it. It was some what messy to remove. It did not dissolve in water but maintained its goop like consistency and oozed out when squeezing the sponge.

It works, but would not my first choice. Sometimes you use what you got to due to availability. It did leave satisfied results. It did out perform expectations, and no tar stains were left behind.
 
The Turtle Wax Tar Remover is my go to brand, melts away tar in seconds, all for a great price.

I was actually surprised by the results, and the bottle was only $5.50US which is cheap for here. The Mothers and Megs stuff is about 1 1/2 of what it is had in the US. I honestly wasn't expecting good results especially after some reviews I read online.
 
I've tried a few over the years and find the TW superior to the others I've used.
Think I paid like 3 bucks for a large can.

This stuff came in a spray bottle. I really don't know how long it has been out as I have seen some places with Mothers bottles from mid 90's. It may have been less of mess if used on isolated spots. I used on a 1.5ft x 5ft section on both sides of the car.
 
If I remember correctly, someone here said that the TW Tar Remover is essentially mineral spirits with a chemical added to create stability and enhance use friendliness.
