I use it. Never had that issue. Occasionally washed it off while "claying".

:dunno:


Forum are not always instantaneous modes of communication. I'm very happy to say this forum is actually quite good at getting you answers fast.


As to your questions, first, try removing tar from the paint chemically before using any mechanical means of removing bonded contaminants. Tar is messy and contaminants anything it gets on including,


Detailing Clay
Nanoskin Autoscrub Pads
Speedy Prep Surface Towels
Buffing Pads


If you discover tar on the rubber surface of a Nanoskin Autoscrub Pad then it should be safe to use a tar remover to "dab" it off. Rubber is inert for the most part as long as the chemical used against it isn't overly strong it should be okay.

Experiment a little and let us know what you find to help others into the future.


Thank you.

thanks mike. i agreewith u.

i do rinse the skin after each section.

and i do use trix or tarmintator sometimes if the tar are obvious, before claying. so i guess the tar it has are very tiny and did not get my attention.

i will try ur method the following Monday and post the result. thanks.

conclusion: do not use tarmintator to clean the tar on your speedy prep towel or nanoskin autoscrub pad.


last night i have used tarmintator to clean the pad and the rubber on it has melted a little.

i tried to rinse it thoroughly with water trying to remove any tarmintator left. and waiting about 15min. it is still like in a melted form. i will check back tonight to see how it is after 24hrs.

the rubber patern was perfect kite form but now the edge of each kite was a little melted. hope when it solidated i can use it again. lol. good luck on me.
