How to Remove Asphalt from a Car?
2 Answers
Asphalt on a car can be cleaned by purchasing a tar and asphalt remover. The method of use is: spray the tar and asphalt remover directly onto the asphalt stains on the car, wait for a moment, and then wipe the asphalt clean with water and a clean soft cloth. Here are the precautions for using a tar and asphalt remover: 1. If it accidentally comes into contact with the eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention; 2. If accidentally ingested, induce vomiting immediately and seek medical attention; 3. When spraying, keep the aerosol can upright and at an angle of no less than 45° to the horizontal; 4. Store in a place below 40°C, away from heat sources and open flames. Do not expose to direct sunlight, impact, puncture, or burn the can; 5. Keep out of reach of children.
I've been driving for many years and have encountered asphalt splashes on my car body several times, especially on highways or after rain when road construction is underway. Those black spots are particularly troublesome. The key is to deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise they harden and stick more firmly to the car paint when exposed to sunlight. First, find a parking spot and rinse the affected area with clean water to reduce impurities; then purchase a specialized asphalt remover and spray it on, letting it soak for a few minutes to soften the asphalt; next, gently wipe with a clean cotton cloth or sponge—avoid scrubbing hard to prevent scratching the paint; finally, rinse thoroughly and apply protective wax to safeguard the paint. For prevention, avoid freshly paved road areas while driving, and washing your car promptly after rain helps a lot. This DIY method saves money and doesn’t harm the car, usually taking just about ten minutes to complete.
