About this deal

The tar spots we tested took multiple applications and the longest to remove them. Didn’t prove to be effective enough to be worthwhile. This is set by Hotjar to identify a new user’s first session.

Overall, the Car Gods 54 formula is an easy to use tar remover for cars that comes in a large 500 ml bottle and easily clears even the most stubborn of deposits. By far the most popular tar remover that’s developed by a reputable UK brand is the Autoglym Intensive formula. It’s able to effortlessly dissolve tar but also other tough deposits such as oil and adhesive residues. However, had the wax been on for several months, it could very well be the case that the tar remover would help speed up the degradation process. I certainly would not recommend using this to strip any old wax from the car though. It would not be economical to do this. It could also have damaging effects to it as well. Cooking Oil: Dab a cloth with a small amount of cooking oil (such as olive oil or vegetable oil) and gently rub it onto the sap. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the oil to break down the sap, and then wipe it away with a clean cloth. The CarPlan Tar Remover is another highly rated formula that’s suitable for use upon most surfaces. According to the brand, you can apply it to the bodywork, wheels, plastic and even chrome without causing any damage.

A: Clay bars may take longer to use, but they remove more than just iron from vehicle surfaces. Clay bars can be used to remove iron, tar, tree sap and paint overspray, so they definitely still have their place on your detailing shelf. A: No, Fallout Remover removes iron contamination from vehicles by using Oxalic Acid. Until reactive bleeding fallout removers came along, this was the preferred method of chemical iron removal, and is actually still a very effective remover of iron deposits. It is safe to use as directed, do not let the acid word scare you, we would not sell it if it was damaging. Just make sure you follow the instructions and you will be fine. Fallout Remover does not turn red and show where the iron contamination is. If you want that sort of product use Liquid Clay or Magma. Most of these products will be effective on other stubborn stains including splattered insects, glue and fuel stains. Some can even be used around the home or in your car’s interior. In short, there’ll be plenty to use these products on. Why should I care? Although it’s possible to remove tar spots using a clay bar kit, a dedicated tar remover is much more easier to use. Simply spray it onto the tar deposits, allow at least 1 to 2 minutes for the solution to get to work and then wipe the formula clear. It’s really that simple and it saves the hassle of aggressively scrubbing the tar, which could cause damage. Overall, the CarPlan TAR375 is an excellent all-round tar remover for cars that won’t disappoint. It dissolves tar and other deposits in a matter of seconds and easily wipes clear to leave behind a clean surface.

It removed light bug debris in our test and helped soften certain stains but required multiple applications to remove further marks. And even then, didn’t fully remove the bugs and not enough to start dissolving tar. A brand we have had in many of our tests and has once again come in the top spots. The Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover proved effective on the test car and removed light to medium tar marks well. Perseus Tar Dissolver by Car Gods performed better than the Meguiars on test but still didn’t work enough to get the top 2 spots. Tar required lots of product as it didn’t have enough bite to make it effortless. The car on test was washed and dried then Perseus applied and allowed to dwell. Rubbing Alcohol: Soak a cloth or sponge in rubbing alcohol and gently rub the sap-covered area. The alcohol will help dissolve the sap, making it easier to remove. Once the sap is gone, wash and rinse the area thoroughly. The car was cleaned first to make it more effective so the tar remover was applied directly to the panels section by section. This was then allowed to dwell before wiping off with a microfibre towel whetted with the product as well.

Conclusion

A: Not a great deal. The name and bottle size are the most obvious factors, although there is a subtle difference in the formulations, but not enough to make a great deal of difference to the performance. Magma was formulated with the needs and desires of the home user in mind, Liquid Clay was formulated for professional users. Both are excellent at removing iron, are pH neutral and both use Colour change Technology, turning red during use. We have received a lot of questions recently regarding our liquid fallout removers, Magma, Liquid Clay and Fallout Remover. Usually these ask how the products differ and ultimately “which product is best for me?” To help you answer these questions and find the right product for you we put this article together. Turtle wax bug and tar was the cheapest product on test but also offered the least value. Its a well known brand and offers a wide range of products but just don’t stand up to the competition.

A: Iron contamination can come from all sorts of places, but most often it is from vehicle braking. The brake dust that gathers around regular brake discs on your wheels is iron contamination. It is generated when the metal parts of your brakes are worn away during use. Trains that have stop at a train station will generate tremendous volumes of iron contamination, so if you park near a railway station regularly you will almost certainly have fallout on your car. Airports also generate fallout for the same reasons too, as well as industrial processes such as foundries, factories and iron works. Removing tree sap from car paint can be challenging, but there are several effective methods you can try. Here are some of the best DIY methods:Below is a list of the best tar remover for cars that are safe to use on most surfaces and effortlessly wipe clear without leaving behind any residue. The Best Tar Remover One cause of concern for many when it comes to using a tar remover is the fact that it may end up causing damage to any LSP (last stage of protection) that is on the car. I am glad to say that when it comes to Autoglym Ultra HD Wax, the tar remover did not cause any visible degradation.

Autoglym's Intensive Tar Remover dissolves a wide variety of contaminants, allowing them to be washed away in the normal washing procedure. The product can also be used on your car interior, treating oil-based interior stains found on synthetic carpets & upholstery. If you are cleaning the rest of the car then you can wash the car while leaving the soaked areas until last. Then using your wash mitt, gently agitate the affected areas. However don’t be over zealous as it can lead to scratching the finish. Tar deposits are a constant threat to your vehicle's paintwork, leaving it bumpy to the touch and potentially causing permanent staining. According to the brand, you can use their formula on paintwork, rubber, synthetic carpets and even the upholstery.It can also be used to remove tar deposits on alloy wheels as well. After winter, I usually use Intensive Tar Remover and also Magma to help deep clean the wheels before applying a layer of protection to them. Intensive Tar Remover Results With respect to safety, it should be noted that gloves must be worn when using Intensive Tar Remover. I would also recommend using eye protection. Likewise, it has an extremely strong smell to it and should only be used in well ventilated areas. This is a powerful product and should be treated as such. WD-40: Apply a small amount of WD-40 directly to the sap and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, use a clean cloth to wipe away the sap. Afterwards, wash the area with soap and water to remove any residue.
