    Question which product was that again ??

    Ive been using a carppro product (most probably) which was sprayed on a paint then when hit with a pressure washer it will dissolved dust, dirt and more of the stubborn grime like no other (no scrubbing at all whatsoever), it had an Acidic effect apparently and will strip off wax or even their infamous car pro Reload sealant, it smells citrus (maybe a bit too powerful) but not exactly a bad smell, just way more powerful, which product was that again ??

    as i said i have been using it like a car acid to dissolve cr*p off the paint (after a pre-rinse) then wash off with just wash, then i will move to proper wash with soap etc..., i noticed tons of cr*p coming off just by using that spray alone, any advise will be greatly appreciated even on a similar product !...

    I have only used Stoners Tarminator and Tar-x.

    I like being able to control the spray with Tar-x. My experience felt better with Tar-X.

    I did a whole car with Tar-X to rid Reload from a UK3 coating to prep for Gliss.
    In the end I floated Essence with a gloss pad and put down UK3 then Gliss.

    It did clean well but so does Stoners and it is much cheaper found locally.

    So you used tar x to remove reload to add gliss? Or did I read you re polished and then did more UK and then gliss?

    Tarminator can be bought in liquid form directly from Stoners. I buy in 5gallon pale. Also TarX can be bought directly from CarPro by the gallon as well.

    I had 1 coat of UK on my daughters car topped with Reload.
    I wanted to use Gliss so yeah I used Tar-x to remove Reload.
    Since the UK had been on for 2 months I baggie tested the hood and decided to clay.

    After the clay I knew I was all in and used Essence on a white LC Force pad.
    2 coats of UK3 and 1 of Gliss later, I was happy.

    I probably didn't need Tar-X but I didn't know I would end up doing what I did.
