Only a woman would drive through something like that

Get an otc tar remover, a cotton rag, and mop it onto the surface. Keep repeating this untill its gone, then apply protectant

estimated time: 30-45 minutes (minus fenderwells)

The Yaris arrived at 10:30 this morning looking like...







That was what both sides looked like, however, the drivers side was worse.

As we worked:


Front fender cleaned
















Rear tires removed so that the mud flaps could be removed






Almost finished




All finished and put back together

Now, we couldn't find any of the products listed in previous posts, my buddy had picked up some Turtle Wax bug and tar remover and I had some Wizards stuff and a bottle of Goo Gone gel spray.

We went to work, the above products worked ok, but honestly, what actually dissolved the tar the quickest and made removal a piece of cake, good ole WD-40, yup, that's right. We used WD-40 on the entire car to remove the car.

I can not believe how well it worked, sprayed it on and within 30 seconds the tar was melting.

We ended up washing the car like 3 times at the end of the day, but hey, whatever!

Good work!

WD40 works on tree sap too, at least it did on some pine sap on the neighbor's car.
