Tar Remover is Detail King’s non-flammable, solvent-based compound for tar splatter. It breaks down tar and grime quickly, dissolving the sticky deposits that can harm paint, with nothing more than a bottle and a towel.

-
- Where to use it: the lower body panels, fenders, wheel wells, and undercarriage, where tar spray builds up most.
-
- Wash and dry the vehicle first. Tar comes off more easily the sooner you treat it.
- Test a small, inconspicuous area before treating the rest of the panel.
- Spray onto a clean microfiber or terry cloth towel, not directly onto the paint, to avoid wasted product and slippery drips.
- Rub over the tar and wipe until clean. Heavier stains may need more than one application.
Do not apply in direct sunlight or to a hot surface, and do not let the product dry on the surface, which can cause staining.

Tar Remover is designed specifically for tar. Bugs and tar are completely different messes, so a combined product is not very effective. Tar breaks down far better with a solvent-based formula like this one, while bugs need an enzyme-based product such as our Bug Remover to break down their protein.
-
Dry. Wash the vehicle, dry it, and then use Tar Remover to clean off any tar that is left on the paint.
-
Yes, as a fallback. If the towel method is not lifting the tar easily, spray the stain directly and let the product dwell for a little while to break the tar down, then wipe it clean. The sunlight, heat, and drying cautions above still apply.
