Can asphalt splashed on the car be washed off?

Asphalt splashed on the car can be washed off. Methods for cleaning asphalt from cars: If it's not too severe, you can directly rinse it with high-pressure water. For stubborn areas, repeated cleaning may be necessary. If the asphalt contamination is severe, it's recommended to purchase a specialized "tar remover" from auto parts stores and apply it appropriately during car washing. However, be sure to rinse thoroughly after using the cleaner. About asphalt removers: Tar remover is a specialized spray for eliminating stains on car bodies. This cleaner can quickly penetrate, dissolve, and remove tar, asphalt, and dirt from car surfaces and alloy wheels. It has remarkable stain-removing, cleaning, and polishing effects. However, this spray also has some corrosive properties, so it's best to wash it off completely after application.
Last time my car got splattered with tar spots, which was really annoying. I immediately went to wash it, but regular rinsing didn’t work and almost scratched the paint. Later, someone told me that tar remover works, so I bought a bottle to try: spray it on, wait 10 minutes for the tar to soften, then gently wipe it off with a soft cloth—the stains came right off. The whole process was simple, but you need to be gentle and not rush or scrub too hard, or you could really scratch the paint, which would cost more to fix. Afterward, I realized that if tar isn’t cleaned up in time, it gets harder to remove once dried by the sun and can even seep into the paint and cause corrosion. So now I regularly apply a coat of wax and slow down when driving on newly paved roads in the rain. If you’re not confident doing it yourself, taking it to a professional car wash only costs a few dozen bucks—easy and safe. Anyway, after the treatment, my beloved car shines like new again.
