    Re: best bug and tar remover?

    I clean bugs off as soon as I get home so nearly anything will remove them.
    Most of the time I use S&W.

    I have not had to remove tar in several years but since I have 2 diesels and a diesel lawn mower I always have diesel fuel on hand so I use it for removing tar.

    Any fuel oil type product will dissolve tar, You will need to apply a LSP after cleaning

    I can get 5 gallons of diesel for what 16 ounces of stuff labeled tar remover would cost and I always have it on hand.

    Re: best bug and tar remover?

    Haven`t tried this with bugs yet, but it works great on tar



    And whatever this doesn`t get, I make up for with a little bit of elbow grease

    Has anyone tried the new product Tar X by Carpro? Just ordered it but haven`t tried it yet.

    Bug squash is good, 4:1 seems to leave LSP in tact as well.
    I like to use it as a pre wash during these winter months as well to help breakup the salt and gunk.

    Tarminator is good as well, awesome for sap and tar, but you need to reapply LSP afterwards for sure.

    I picked up one of the sample bottles on my last order. I have heard good things about it and am looking forward to giving it a try.

    Re: best bug and tar remover?

    Just received and tried TarX - pretty disappointing. Didn`t remove the stubborn tar balls on the inside of the wheels nor the old wheel weight stickum.

    Sorry to hear this. I have some on order I`m going to use on my wife`s car (white) that has old tar piled up under the rocker panels. Maybe I`ll have better results, but it`s some stubborn tar from a recent road paving incident (recent as in 6 months ago). I got it all off the side of the car that can be seen but I can get lazy in the areas that can`t be seen so easily.

    Re: best bug and tar remover?

    Could work better on the paint as that was how it was demoed. However on the inside of the wheels, not so much. Let us know how it works for you. Thanks.

    This stuff is fantastic! Price has gone down since the time of my review as well.

    Really? Are you sure it`s Tar? Did you let it sit for 5-7 minutes?
