Summer care: Tar

[chalky]

I spent all day yesterday cleaning the car and finally removed the Tar spots from the paintwork that have sat there all winter and have been evident every time i wash the car.

I,ve waited long enough for the decent weather to arrive so after spending a fortune on polishes and applicators i set about the car.

I used Sonus paintwork cleanser and a mammoth ammount of elbow grease, the only problem being that the majority of Tar spots seemed invisible to the naked eye until the stuff was applied and then stood right up from the painted surface and being red stood right out.

So this is not really a reccomendation for the product as a tar remover but in cleaning the paint and exposing the tar spots its great !

Hi Chalky, as you now mine is misano red also. I have found the best combination for this colour is Auotoglym SRP followed by Collinite 456 wax..................brings out the flakes a treat. See you at Croft and we can have a chat?

Petrol works great !

Just seen this thread. Petrol was the preferred method of a body shop I use. It really works well and quickly.
