  • How do i get this off!!!!!

    So today i did a 2007 Dodge Ram. It was a work truck of a local bussiness owner. I kno the black stuff is TAR and the white stuff i think is paint. He just wanted a simple wash and interior detail...I gave him back the truck with the tar still there!! It wouldnt come off! I only had MILD clay which only remove like 20 outa 400 dots!!!

    You want Body Solvent for that.

      Stoner Tarminator should take that tar off no problem. Possibly even the white paint as well, but I don't know that for sure. You can find Tarminator at a lot of auto parts stores.

        ^ That and some plastic razor blades (be careful when using them) as well.

          I like the Bug and Tar, Body Solvent, etc. Maybe even some #105 for remnants.

            I would give the bug and tar remover a try.

                I've used "Ooops! Spot Remover" from Autozone on some tar, but you have to be careful that stuff is POWERFUL.

                  Body Solvent or Safe Degreaser

                  I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

                  I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
                  Remove swirls my friends.

                    As said already, Body Solvent. the key to using any bug and tar remover is to let the product dwell on the surface for as long as possible.

                      Turtle's Bug and Tar is not a good choice IMO.

                        Edited for language and bashing of another company's products.

                        See rules #4 and #7

                        4. No bashing any company or their products. No bashing other people. If you can't say anything nice about someone, then don't say anything at all.

                        7. Keep language "G Rated", this includes insinuations. If you wouldn't say it in front of your grandparents, your parents or your children, then you shouldn't probably be posting to the Meguiar's Online forum.
