How to deal with asphalt spots on the car?
2 Answers
There are the following methods to deal with asphalt spots on the car: 1. To remove these asphalt spots from the car body, car wax must be applied. The oil content in the wax can dissolve the tar in the asphalt. By repeatedly applying car wax, the tar adhering to the car body can be removed. After wiping it off, use a clean cotton cloth to wipe again, which can thoroughly remove any residual tar stains on the car body. 2. Do not rush to rinse or grind, as it may affect the car's paint surface. First, use high-pressure water to rinse the car body for initial cleaning. If asphalt or other dirt remains, you can rinse these local areas again and then wash them with soapy water.
Driving for long periods often leads to encountering asphalt spots on the car. Last time I parked near a roadside construction area and came back to find many small black dots stuck hard on the hood. At first, I tried washing them off with regular car shampoo, but the more I scrubbed, the messier it became. Later, after researching, I learned that asphalt spots require specialized treatment—like applying kerosene diluted with water, letting it soak for ten minutes, and then gently wiping it off with a soft cloth. Never use steel wool or a blade to scrape them off, as this can easily scratch the paint. After cleaning, make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid residue corrosion. It's best to park away from construction zones and maintain regular car washes to minimize trouble. Cleaning asphalt spots can be a bit of a hassle, but addressing them early prevents bigger issues.
