On the girlf's car she has a lot of tar up side of bodywork from last summer-whats best tar remover to get it clean again please?

Autoglym intensive tar remover works for me - wipe it on, wait 5 mins, wipe off, job done.

I use brake cleaner and a soft cloth

Yep Autoglym tar remover.

Automsart Tardis

Failing that I have used cellulose thinners* on really badly contaminated cars (avoid unpainted plastics and stickers though).

*NOTE: DO NOT use celly thinner if the car has had a cheap re-spray/repair or chips-away type smart repair. As if the paint was cellulose based it will remove it. OE spec Water Based or Isocyanate paint is fine. Wear nitrile gloves and do it outside as it can soak though your skin and make you a bit 'giddy'

Believe it or not, WD40 gets it off a treat.

It also removes the debris from sticky labels..........

Cigarette lighter fluid and a microfibre cloth, gently wipe away those tarspots....

Believe it or not, WD40 gets it off a treat.


got some some spray same as wd40 at home and thought of this but didn't know wether it be ok using over such a large area as her car has it all flicked up back of car and all along bottom of sills.

most valet cleaners will have tar and glue remover in big 1 gallon containers.

i just go down a and give the guy a fiver to fill up a water "scooshy" bottle lol

some bigger bits of tar take a while to come off, but once its done, then washed then waxed u can really see the difference.

White spirit might be worth a try if you have got some handy. Thats gets rid of the sticky stuff off labels too.

Margerine works a treat

I used to use WD40 too, depends on the coverage. Claying works too for stubborn spots

I use Halfords Tar Remover which removes tar fine, but can dull the finish if applied too vigorously Be careful whichever solution you decide on.

Cheapskate !!! Butter works best

Angle grinder, works a treat everytime!

Dodo juice glue and tar remover is fantastic. (500ml)

Tardis is great but can only be bought in 5 litres.

try this one, I am sure the missus wont mind

I work with liquid tar though the summer and Baby oil and cotton wool work well for getting if off your skin for every thing else wd-40 works well also diesel we use a chemical called de-tar takes tar off in seconds but if used on skin it strip the skin of its oil

Best stuff is autosmart Tardis and on ebay you can buy as little as 250ml and up to 1litre or if you want buy a full 5 litre container

Another fan for good old WD40
Does the job and cheap too at pound land

Does no one use petrol?

WD40 is a good one as people have said . I have used this stuff and find it will remove most things very easily
