What to Use to Clean Tar on a Car?

If there is rust, remove the rust first. Direct polishing can remove the rust. Choose a good anti-rust and waterproof coating to repair the rusted holes. When performing anti-rust work, it is best to use the same type of paint to prevent different paints from reacting with each other. After repairing the rusted holes on the chassis, apply a plastic sealant to the bottom of the car to prevent rust. To maintain the chassis in winter, perform a thorough chassis cleaning and anti-rust treatment. First, clean the chassis thoroughly.
To clean tar stains on the car, I usually use a specialized tar remover. Last week, my car drove over a newly paved road, and the tires splattered a large patch of tar onto the door, which looked disgusting. I immediately bought a bottle of automotive tar remover, sprayed it on, and waited for about five minutes—it softens and dissolves the tar. Then, I gently wiped it off with a microfiber cloth, and it was clean. The whole process is quite simple and doesn’t damage the car paint. The key is to deal with it promptly and not leave it for too long, otherwise the tar will stick harder and become more difficult to remove. After cleaning, I also make it a habit to rinse with water and apply a layer of wax to protect the paint and prevent future adhesion.
