Getting tar off
What do you use to get tar off your pride and joy without scratchin it?
Local council in all their wisdom decide to re-lay a perfectly good road by puttin a bit of tar and chippings down which stays stuck to the road for all of 2 days before it attaches itself to the car!

Try WD40. Sounds daft but it works better than all the tar removers i've used. Just spray it on and leave it for 20-30 mins, then wipe tar off with a damp cloth. Obviously wash the car afterwards though.

Argh dont do any of the above.
Infact the WD40 does work to be honest but dont even do that
Contact your local Autosmart rep and hell deliver you a can of Autosmart Tardis.
Spray on and after around 90 seconds the tar will simply begin to dribble off. All you need to do then is simply wipe.
In certain cases it may need a second spray of tardis but it is a great product.

I used to work for a romany tarmac-er and we used to use............ wait for it......... Baby Oil!!
Yep seriously, the BEST thing I have ever seen for removing tar.
I once had to clean a 7.5 tonne truck that the tar pump had exploded over and I used nothing else to clean it with than baby oil. (Woman in Tescos thought I was odd buying all the Baby oil they had, )
It desolves the tar as soon as it touches. Little bit on a cotton wool bud and gently rub and off it comes.
Brings plastics up a treat too, but doesnt last too long...........
Give it a go, you will be surprised.
