    Heavy tar removal

    Just wanted to share this with you guys: I just got done doing a vehicle that had heavy tar splatter on the lower portions of the vehicle. Looking at it I was a bit frightened. We all know that even with the best tar removers, that this is gonna require lots of elbow grease...... So I got to thinking. Put a MF bonnet on my PC and some Dodo Tarmalade and went to town on speed three. Work amazing and saved a lot of rubbing. Machine did all the work basically!!

    That's an interesting technique...

    I usually use either 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner or Optimum Power Clean and a boar's hair brush to melt away the tar but the MF bonnet isn't a bad idea either.

    Re: Heavy tar removal

    Cool idea! I would only try this is I was doing a correction afterwards though. I could be wrong, but I feel like this would cause some serious marring to the paint.
