How to Clean Asphalt Stains on a Car?
2 Answers
Asphalt stains on the car body can be cleaned using an asphalt cleaner. Below is an introduction to asphalt-related information: Asphalt Cleaning Method: First, prepare a tar asphalt cleaner. Shake the asphalt cleaner well, then spray it generously onto the asphalt stains to ensure complete dissolution. Afterward, wipe the area with a dry towel to clean it off. Asphalt Paint: Asphalt paint is primarily made from coal tar pitch and coal tar, mixed with thinners, modifiers, drying agents, and other organic solvents. The ratio of the main ingredients typically varies depending on climate, temperature, and usage conditions, while modifiers are added as needed. Asphalt paint is commonly used for anti-corrosion projects on underground pipelines.
I've dealt with a lot of asphalt issues while helping others with car repairs, and I think the simplest method is to buy a professional tar remover. Spray it on the stain and wait five to ten minutes for it to soften. Then gently wipe with a soft cloth or sponge—don't scrub hard, or you'll damage the paint. For thick stains, you might need to repeat the process a few times. After cleaning, rinse off any residue with water and apply a layer of wax to protect the surface. The key point is to do this when the car is cool—working under direct sunlight causes the chemicals to evaporate too quickly and can harm your hands. Try to avoid newly paved roads when driving; prevention is better than cure. If you really can't handle it, go to a professional car wash instead of experimenting with hard brushes.
