**ST.Legal** · 01-21-2006, 08:51 AM

Hello guys Im new to this forum and I look foward to your advice. I have had a mobile business in Myrtle Beach, SC for almost 6 years now and I have not run in to this problem. A customer called the other day tao tell me she found tar on her 05 red BMW. When I arrived I found two big GLOBS of tar on her passenger door! It looks like someone scooped up a hand full of roof patch and slung it on the door, I tried a couple of different things but I knew they would`nt work, but this week she has an appointment to get it removed, and I`m still not sure what to do. HELP! Thank you in advance for your help I know someone can help.

It`s "Bimmer".

If it`s a lot, its going to take time. I would pick up some Microfiber Towels from Sam`s Club (cheap, but work nicely), then stop at the gas station and pick up some kerosene. Kerosene is a great tar remover, but only for really tough jobs would I use. Anything else, you are wasting your time/money.

Thanks Sean for the advice on the tar and the spelling correction. It is definately is a big job thanks again.

you would want to remove the tar using a professinal based chemical such as Detail Kings tar remover. Works great and works on the paint very nicely.

Good suggestion GSRstilez-

We used Kerosene at a place I used to work at. I found it worked better by rubbing some onto a towel and wetting the TARnished (ha ha) area, letting it sit, reapplying and wiping in many passes lightly.

Good luck~

Plastic razor blades can also help to level the tar to a manageable level. Used correctly, they are perfectly safe on paint. I believe Patrick at www.exceldetail.com sells them.

Yes, he does, page 3 of `new items`
