Panel wipe also works well On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

WD40 works well but is a hassle getting that off afterwards. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

Autoglym tar and glue, spray on, let to soak in, rub off with microfibre and repeat with a little scrubbing for the small spots On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

My missus got tar and white line paint all up the side of her (black) car. It was coming off with thinners, but it was hard work.

Don't waste your money on autoglym, it's rubbish. Buy 'autosmart tardis', it's the ultimate tar remover. Spray one and watch the tar run off. Go on YouTube to see for yourself! On 25th Sep, 2009 mini13 said:

I find autoflym the best for tar and glue removal, there are better products on the market but less easily available, Shauna uses some stuff called gyeon, just make sure its not cellulose paint as it stripped the pigment out of a panel on her car with pther day, there's also stuff called tardis which is really good and quite cheap On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Tbh, whilst doing valeting for a bit, the autosmart products were much better than autoglyms products, except for the shampoo I think. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

The bottom half of cars get covered in it as it flicks up off the road.
