I'm washing her today and there are tiny black specks stuck in the paint everywhere!. Its worse in the rear. Any suggestions to get this stuff off without scratching or hurting the paint? I have a variety of car car stuff from Griot's, but a little afraid to scratch..SOB!

thanks

 

Try WD40, it will take it off.

WD40? Are you serious? won't hurt the paint? i use that stuff on everything

 

Clay bar? Don't fret, the detailing experts on the board will chime in and sort you out.

 

I have used it a couple of times and it has never damaged my paint. If it will please let the pro detailers explain why.

Use a real solvent(http://www.premiumautocare.com/tar-removal.html) and don't rub...let the solvent disolve the tar. It will also remove the wax, but that's easy to reapply.

 

Tar on Paint... Peanut Butter. Just not crunchy.

Do a Yahoo search: "peanut butter removes tar"

 

mmmm..peanutbutter..i do like peanut butter. i'll try it with my clay bar!
thanks

 

3M makes a good tar remover as do a few detailing companies.

 

exactly what I was about to recommend the Poor Boys stuff, I had to use this stuff on a S500 that got stuck behind a tar trailer that hit a big bump and threw tar all over the car. Worked great!

Many manufacturers make good products for this, i've had great success w/ megs body solvent as well.

 

3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner

I think the commercial tar cleaners are mostly kerosene.

A clay bar works really well.

 

i have a clay bar and will try some of the solvents this weekend. thanks guys
