Somehow I managed to get a bunch of tar on my door today, and when I tried to remove it, all I did was make it spread (that was before I realized it was tar). What can I use to remove the tar without hurting the car's paint?

Re: Help! Got tar on my door
Have you tried it? I remember using some kind of bug remover (can't remember what brand since I didn't actually buy it) a long time ago and that stuff was worthless. I don't mind spending the money on something, but I'd like to know it will take those spots right off.Comment

Clay bar took it off my car. Used to be the bug and tar remover would also remove your clear coat. They have changed the formula so it works well now. I would wait until it drys though.Comment

Re: Help! Got tar on my door
Any kind of Bug/Tar remover will work. Just don't be to aggressive or you'll swirl your paint.

Re: Help! Got tar on my door
Thanks for the advice. I tried the Turtle Wax and it really was amazing. The tar came right off with no effort. After washing my car, I also discovered some old tree sap though, and the Turtle Wax wouldn't touch most of it. I finally got it off, but it looks like that sap stained my paint yellow. Thank goodness it's not very noticeable

Re: Help! Got tar on my door
I would try some clay bar, Ive never seen Tree Sap staining the paint,
If that doesnt work, Try some kind of polish, such as Scratch X 2.0 or Ultimate compound, If you decide to use Ultimate compound, its somewhat of a heavy polish so it needs to be followed up by a light polish like Scratch x 2.0Make me a signature and ill put it in here...Comment

Re: Help! Got tar on my door
rubbing alcohol for the tree sap, apply it to a soft towel (NO PAPER TOWEL) and rub in a circular motion will little to no pressure. Also Stoners Tarminator works wonders, im not a fan of the turtle wax takes forever to get bugs of, diluted degreaser works much faster.Installed - Crab CAB Intake, Borbet Type XL In Black wrapped in Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Wide Oval, Hammerhead, Lowered, Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD, HID's DDM tuning 55w 10k Low 35W 8k Fog, LED Tail Light Bulbs, Racingline Strut Bar Painted Red, R1 Concepts CD/S Front and Rear, EBC Yellowstuff pads, 25mm H&R Wheel Spacers, GTR (Pending Delivery)
