Pro Tip: Easily Remove Nasty Tar From Your Car!
• Pro Tip: Easily Remove... #pureoctanegarage #automotive #detailing #turtlewax #wd40
For anybody wondering the easiest way. I put the tar and wax on there and I let it sit there for like 10 minutes until the wax turns brown once it does it wipes right off 1 or two wipes.
I can actually vouch for the Turtle Wax on tar, I had to apply 2 times in some places but it was little effort.
I put a little gas on a rag and wash the area afterwards. It works easy & great.
Thank you for WD40 recommendation worked like magic
Kerosene is faster. We use it to clean the chain of the motorcycle, as well as WD40
Thanks for the tip on a possible speedier removal option. Thank you for watching!! (like all products: test in a small inconspicuous area first)
Couldn't recommend this product for tar. I sprayed it twice over most of my car, using up a whole bottle. To no effect. None of the tar started melting and I wasnt able to wipe it away without scrubbing hard. I washed the car and next day tried with another product on half the car: Carpro Tarx, this worked brilliantly. The other part of the car received a treatment of Koch Chemie EULEX. This was fabulous and 95% of tar just melted away. I had to re-treat around 10 areas twice or so. But i never had to rub og scrub. Just microfiber wipe, and voilá
Thanks for sharing your results. We have since found a better product as well. Stoner Tarminator has proven to be very effective. Appreciate you watching!
if you have one of the wraps or surface coatings you may want to skip the wd 40 , it might dissolve that coating. be careful
Just removed tar from a spatula that was left to dry for about 4 days.i used WD40 and it worked great.
Sweet! Always uses for that WD40👍 Thank you for watching.
doesnt the wd40 damage paint?
great, i will try the wd40 dont have the other stuff around
Can you remove spilt tar off a glass patio table?
Brother .. If you macro zoom the surface always have a little transparent dimple above it that stick no matter what ... HOW ??? To remove that
If only from far away.... U can use almost anything bro ... thanx you so much
Good question! Hmmmmm???😂 Appreciate you watching!
We use WD-40 to clean tire rubber from our asphalt late model race car
Does this mean WD-40 is NOT safe to put on your tires?
So am I able to use this to get rid of asphalt that has splashed on my vehicle.?
This will rid the tar from the asphalt...if you have large contaminants be very careful, you might need to soak with vinegar and try to spray away. You might need to compound/polish the area to rid of the scratches incurred from the removal. Good luck and thanks for watching.
I’ve used the bug and tar remover can it scratch up cars
You should be safe. We haven't had any problems, but keep in mind the sponge, towel, rag, etc. that you are using, that can be the most dangerous. Great question. Thanks!
Next time you walk your driveway, say hi to that oily spot where you let WD40 soak into the stone :D
Oily spotted driveways are the worst. Great tip to be aware of! Thanks!
@@PureOctaneGarage Aint that the truth.
Won’t last long tho wd40 is very light on the oily side
What do you guys mean by apply protection? I have specs of tar all over my car and need to remove it but I don’t know what to do with the protection part
Great question Caleb. These products and others like them tend to strip off any wax or sealants (sometimes coatings too). We are just reminding viewers that use these products to reapply wax, sealant, or coating (protection) on the areas these are used. Thanks for watching.
2:42 mark - "Just tryin to generate some buzz." Awesome. Great tip guys!
Thank you 😊👍🏼
It works better than what these guys portray it to be ,the turtle wax that is, you need to let it set for a fee minutes to penetrate
Agreed. Turtle Wax does recommend letting the product penetrate the stain for one minute. In this case the tar was pretty old/baked on, so it took a little more elbow grease. Thank you for watching!
New friend from Pusa studios! Looking forward to seeing the great content!
I got bowdens tar tar tar and absolutely useless I used hand sanitizer with isopropyl and it gets rid of it better but probably go wd40 first then isopropyl
Is it safe to use on ceramic coated cars
Bug and tar remover definitely does not work
Neither of these products worked on my car.
That's not good. What are you trying to remove? We have found another great product, that we think works even better...Stoner Tarminator. link: amzn.to/3uviMBw
Maybe give that a shot, worked great on gum that attacked ceramic coated paint for us. Thanks for watching!
isopropyl will help break down the tar but you’ll need to rebuff as it removes all wax
If you have to scrape it with your finger nails the product doesn’t work. You should not scrape it, use a clay bar.
Thanks for watching, Nick
No no no just get Dyna-wipes.
