Tar Spots?

[Phil]

Whats the best way of getting rid of those cruddy tar spots which I seem to have accumulated quite a few of recently?

claying is the best option.

Claying, or some sort of tar remover is the two options.

Meguiars Clay Kit - about £25 from your local Halfrauds, thats what I used after they resurfaced my local roads. The car came up a treat!

keep it well waxed, then use a wool mit (like the meguiars one) that has that netting stuff on one side, they pull them off well.

claying or if your not in to that - wd40 works well in removing tar

Clay or some Tardis by Autosmart. I'd recommend Tardis over clay personally but to each their own.

i wouldve said a clay bar too, never heard of using WD-40.

sounds like a good trick, might have to give it a go!

I had loads on mine recently. Clayed it for the 1st time and was sooo pleased with the results. Takes quite along time to do it properly, but well worth it.

Don't mess about with clay, get some Tardis on there, leave it a few mins then wipe it all off!

Amazing stuff.

Hi.
Have anyone tried Showroom Shine? Thats supposed to get Tar marks off. Whats Tardis anyway?

 

[RussZS]

It's a dedicated tar remover made by Autosmart. I paid £15 for 5 litres of it.

Cheers guys, good tips . I think i'll give the old clay a go and maybe some of the products mentioned. I'll let you know the results.

I clayed my car last summer. But since then I have just used AutoSmart Tardis (as mentioned above). Its fantastic so I would recommend this to anyone rather than claying.

My car was covered in tar in January, took me ages getting it back all sparkly lol. All the snow, grit and winter sludge
