Stoner Tarminator question.

[rider9195]

Hey guys, got a call today from a man that just wants his car washed and waxed. It's a track only car and he said the tar on it is pretty bad from the slicks on the rear. He also mentioned that the front and rear of the car has a wrap on it to protect from chips and such.

So I picked up some Tarminator today and was reading the directions and it said to be careful around adhesives and decals. So I don't want to risk having the edges peel up after using it. So what do you guys think about even using it on the wrap itself?

Where did you get some locally?

Could you just tape up the edges of the wrap? Even double tape it.

Only problem I see is the the adhesive breaking up because of the Tarminator. I'll try it though. My other concern is using it directly on the wrap. I may just have to stick with claying those parts or using a less aggressive product.

-I personally wouldn't use Tarminator or clay on the PPF (wrap)

-Try this on the PPF, if in a rush...might even be available OTC
Mothers R3 Racing Rubber Remover, rubber scuff remover, boot scuff eraser

Or...if you've got some time to order:

-Premier Mobile Group's PF1 Film Cleanse (recommended as the best by all PPF manufacturers)
-XPel's PPF Cleaner

I robbed O'Reillys of their last two cans tonight as well.

I've just recently used Tarminator to remove decals from an older police car and the decals came right off. The stuff really eats up the adhesive so I would be really careful around the decals. It will probably eat the tape up too if you try to tape off the decals. I would probably spray a rag and use the rag to apply the Tarminator and let it set just for a little while and keep wiping and repeating the process until the stains are removed.

To be sure it doesn't remove the adhesive (because it will) I would suggest claying the areas to remove the tar....really your only option. Since most of the tar removers are citrus based.....chances are they will all do damage to the adhesive. You can also try OPC...citrus based, but not as concentrated with adhesive removers.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll probably spray on a MF towel and wipe on the painted surfaces and just use clay on the rest.
