How to Remove Asphalt Stains from a Car?
1 Answers
Asphalt is primarily composed of hydrocarbons, which are insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulfide. If asphalt adheres to your car, simply washing with water won't remove it, and using tools to scrape it off may easily scratch the paint. A scientific approach to removal is more effective. Here are methods to clean asphalt from your car: 1. Use a tar remover. Specialized tar removers can quickly penetrate and dissolve asphalt, effectively cleaning tar and asphalt stains from the car body and wheels, offering excellent stain removal, cleaning, and polishing effects. However, they can be somewhat corrosive, so rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning. 2. Use essential balm. Essential balm can also dissolve asphalt. Apply a few drops on the asphalt stains, wait for 5 minutes, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. 3. Use diesel fuel. Diesel can similarly dilute and dissolve asphalt; after dissolution, simply wipe the area clean.
