McKee`s37 Tar Max Tar Remover

Darn it`s $80 for a gallon of the M37 Tar remover. Might be time to organize a 55 gallon drum shipment of Tardis from the UK and distribute 5 gallon to everyone to cover the costs + shipping. It`s been a long time since I`ve seen someone do it. That 5 gallons of Tardis was probably the best money I`ve ever spent on detailing products. It lasted me quite a while too.
 
So Autosmart replied stating that they they cannot ship their products internationally, however, they do have a US distributor now that is located outside of Philadelphia. So I am finding out what it would take make a large barrel purchase.

Tardis is one of the most effective tar removers. Autosmart often only sells to companys that uses it and not for selling it. But do you get a nice sells person from the distributor you can make a deal with them as a private person. This is in Sweden how it works. And could be another story in the US.

We use very much of tar removers here. And then the offerings of them is quite large. During the winter it`s a maintance product even lol. Before foamcannons got really popular. The most common method of those that take care of their cars. Was to have 2 pump spray bottles. One with a tar remover which is not so potent as tardis but close to it. Spray the tar remover on dry paint as a first step. Don`t apply it over the side windows cause if you get in the doors it desolves the rust protection in them over time. So on the lower side panels and the back of the car and let it dwell for as long as possible before it dries. Then over the tar remover an alkaline based degreaser is sprayed over the whole car. Dwell for about 5 minutes and then PW clean rinsing it off from bottom and work your way up. This got you all the road salt and very much of the road grime and road film off the car. And then do your bucket wash as useally. You don`t get the rinse bucket that dirty and the last road film gets off with ease with a few wipes with the wash media. This is often done on the gas stations that have wash bay garages they lease out by the hour. And is done in the winter months when the road salt is on the roads. Just a little information on how many do it here :)

That`s aggressive but seems like a very sound procedure. Luckily for the most part our cars don`t get covered in tar here in the midwest. I also think that panel wipes (coating prep) should be similar to tar removers i.e. some kind of hydrocarbon solvent (prep-all, upol, etc). I don`t know enough about the chemicals to know what makes one or another fast/safe/cheap
 
Well, some good news. I got a response from the US distributor of Autosmart products. He replied that they do sell the Tardis product to all parts of the US. They have it in 1, 5 and 55 gallon containers. PM me a message for the information out of respect for McKees 37. Probably not cool to talk about this on this thread anymore.
 
Older- Lasts a long time as long as you don`t spill it ;) I gave my favorite Audi tech a can years ago (which he reserves for use on my wheel weights), bet he`ll have some left if (heaven forbid!) he retires.
