Tar removal
I have washed, iron xed, and washed again my wife's van. There are several small tar deposits on the paint. My plan is to clay, polish, Klasse AIO and SG tomorrow (can't believe I took a day off to detail a minivan). Do I need to use something else to remove the tar or will the rest of the process do it ( they are very small bits)? If I need to remove it what should I use that I can source locally?

Re: Tar removal
I had good results using Stoner's Tarminator.
Try not only by spraying the area but also spraying what ever product you use onto a rag and hold it up against those small tar deposits.

Re: Tar removal
I use de-alcoholized mineral spirits. small amounts, test first, clean cotton towel. Sorry about the spelling.

Nothing beats tarminator. Melts the tar away so quickly.
I tried using WD40 a few months ago and it left a huge mess and left the paint with an oily film that wouldn't completely come off. Won't ever use that crap again for detailing.

Re: Tar removal
+1 for TarX. It is as easy as spray on, let dwell, and wipe off.

Tarminator or Tar X. I personally prefer Tarminator out of the two. I think tar x works better for removing wax on trim.
