Go to bug and tar remover

[MarkyyDetail]

What’s everyone’s go to bug and tar remover. A friend of mine who is a mobile detailer says he’s been running into a ton of cars with Tar deposits and heavy bug build up. He is looking for something that can be purchased in bulk because some of his contracts have 20+ cars. Most of these cars are owned by business men/women who don’t clean them often. He is wanting something that is safe on a variety of paints being that he works on all different types of vehicles. Whatever he is using now he said just isn’t economical. I figured I’d ask the experts here to get your thoughts

3D has a gallon at very reasonable price, if for a business $$ is always a key.

​Mineral spirits, which is basically what you pay for when buying "bug and tar" removers.

[MarkyyDetail]

Someone else has mentioned mineral spirits to me. I guess I thought that it was to harsh for car paint.

[Ron Ketcham]

Too harsh?? You have been putting it on auto paint every time you applied a polish or liquid wax, a bug and tar remover, been the go to safe solvent for car are products for decades !!!

Exactly what I use too.

Tarminator or Mineral Spirits

Duragloss, Poorboys bug Squash are both very good as is Griots. One of the best for TAR is plain ole Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover, but to goes on dry and you basically polish it off like a wax. Its too much for a whole panel or a bumper but for a small spot of TAR its my favorite.

Koch Chemie Eulex works wonders on really stubborn tar and adhesive, but it is not safe for plastics. I primarily use CarPro TarX and 3D Bug Remover.

Gyeon Tar is a fantastic tar, rubber and adhesive remover. As for bugs they wash right off with a regular car wash because my cars are protected with Polish Angel Cosmic V2 and topped with Cosmic Spritz and on all of the glass I use Gyeon QuickView. Nothing sticks to it.
