tar spots

[dp9901]

seems to be every time i wash the car theres hundreds of tar spots all over doors etc was thinking of gettitng some tar remover stuff but concerned this will take the wax off and i dont really want to clay bar it everytime of washing.i seem to have to polish them off each time.mines white so it shows them up even worse.is there any tips/products youd recommend?

I use the turtle wax bug/tar remover, spray it on, leave for a min and wash off with a sponge. Seems to do the trick for me

Clay bar works a treat too.

Autosmart Tardis is good for removing tar, but is more than likely gonna remove some wax as well.

Clay bar is the answer tbh. Anything else is either going to be abrasive or some sort of chemical degreaser, either is likely to remove the wax/sealant as well.

IMO.

Snap, Clay bar is specifically designed to fix this problem.

The key is to prep your paintwork, get it as clean as possible which includes polishing.... then you wax it.... and keep contaminents off using some detailing spray like the stuff meguiars do which takes the rubbish off before it has a chance to bond.

Sadly, the only way to keep your car spot free is to go over it with the cleaning spray every time you use it.

Snap..Its ment to be used in a sort of polish format,but i find it works really well this way and leaves a shiny finish!
