How do I remove tar???

[pontiac nino]

I got a hella of alot of tar on my truck, fresh from road paving. It's throught the fenders, the doors and well all in the bottom of the truck (it's white :( ) Anyone have any suggestions or stuff you can recommend to remove this crap. Any ideas or suggestions would really be appreciated. [img]smile.gif[/img]

"Tar & Bug Remover" sold at most auto stores. It's in a small black and white can with a red lid. Works great!! After you get the tar off with the remover, it's a good idea to wash-n-wax the car again. Especially where you used the remover because that stuff WILL remove the wax. "Goof Off" works well too.

Does it have a lil' bug on it? If it does I used it already, two cans, didn't seem to work too well. Im debating using a small amoung of gas and rub it off but I think it will thin the paint.

Thanks though

i used WD-40 to get rid of some tar on my car.

Lighter fluid.. just make sure to remove it all then hit it with a windex.

i scraped it off my car with a blastic puddy knife and then used a sponge and soap to clean the rest off

Yep, WD40 is where it's at! Gets rid of all types of road debris that flew up the fenders [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] be sure to wash and wax after u finish. Next time it will come off easy.

simple green and scrubbing will get it off.

I had tried WD-40 on mine previosly to get off tar.... didn't really work you guys.

I did the clay bar yesterday and it got that tar off like a charm. I highly recommend a clay bar over everything else.

Thanks guys, I tried the WD-40 and it worked with some of the tar then it kinda gave up. Im iffy about the lighter fluid. Tommorrow I'll go buy either a claybar or simple green (whichever i find first) at autozone or pepboys.

Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

I heard goo gone works pretty good. Try that.

[wreckedcamaro]

claybar works, anykind of solvent works, degreasers work

wd40 and lighterfluid and plastic puddy knifes, not saying none of this works but i'd say only as a last resort and use at your own will with extreme caution.

GOO GONE...????

It's a citrus-based gunk remover. I used it on my windows to get the dealer's sticker junk off, and on my rear bumper to remove the sticky from the dealer's decal...

Didn't seem to dull the paint or anything. I didn't use all that much and I washed it off with water promptly after, but I don't THINK it will hurt it...
