How to Remove Asphalt Splashed on the Car?
2 Answers
Here are some methods to deal with asphalt: 1. Use a tar and asphalt remover. Spray a small amount of tar remover on the car paint, and after a few seconds, wipe it off thoroughly with a towel. 2. Use a clay bar. A clay bar can effectively clean and absorb deep-seated dirt on the paint surface, mainly used to remove asphalt and other contaminants from the car's paint. The downside is that manual cleaning of large areas can be tiring, and the clay bar needs to be kept clean to avoid damaging the paint. 3. Use toilet water or essential balm. Organic sticky substances can be dissolved with organic solvents. The disadvantage is that alcohol, toilet water, or essential balm can only remove light contaminants, and the area must be rinsed with water promptly after removal. 4. Visit a professional car detailing shop and ask the staff to handle it for you.
Hey, just finished dealing with the tar spots on my car. Those little black bumps are really hard—never try to pick them off with your nails or hard objects! It’ll scratch the paint. Last time I drove past a road construction area, the side of my car was covered in tiny tar spots. I bought a specialized tar remover, sprayed it on, waited three minutes for it to soften, then gently wiped in circles with a microfiber cloth. For stubborn spots, I repeated the spray. After wiping, make sure to rinse off any residue with water, or the cleaner can damage the paint. Finally, I like to apply a layer of wax to protect the paint, like giving the car a protective coat. Remember to be gentle—nail polish remover (acetone) can work in a pinch, but don’t use it often as it harms the paint.
