tar everywhere.....

[CumminsCrazed]

oh haha.....ok



so 0000 steel wool with.....?stoners tarminator? on my tip?

 

[imported_Jakerooni]

Use the tarminator on the tar on the paint. It probably wouldn't be bad on the tips either. However I just soak my steel wool with glass cleaner.

Thanks, Jim.

Yep, that's what I am saying:bigups

ok guys....heres the pics of the truck and tip with tar....only lighting i had was either my flash or a mechanics light.....so not great lighting but youll be able to see it

Tried these 2 with my camera flash....wasnt sure if i liked that or not

Back to Mechanics light

 

[CumminsCrazed]

took the pics....anyone have any suggestions after seeing what im talking about?

Never tried Stoners tarminator; I know there glass cleaner works very well; personally by looking at the pictures I would use lacquer thinner or a cleaner solvent product; just do a small spot first;

on paint????????????????????

 

[BigJimZ28]

on paint????????????????????

yep on paint if it is cured factory paint

it's no worse for the paint then a tar remover

 

[CumminsCrazed]

oooh...what about my drivers door which has been repainted and replaced early last Sept.



Also, do i dare use that on my SS tip?

Shall i say Mineral Spirits again, works well on tar, decal glue, carpet tar, oil, etc. And it is very very slow to soften paint, unlike LT, Acetone and Xylene products.

 

[CumminsCrazed]

ok...where would i pick up mineral spirits at and can i use them on my SS tip as well?

 

[Honda Tool]

Have you tried WD-40? I prefer it over mineral spirits.

 

[CumminsCrazed]

i have yet to try anything yet due to being sick the last few days.

 

[salty]

Any hardware store, usually in the paint section.

 

[Jokeman]

I use 3M adhesive remover.

I also use the Tarminator and have great success with it. As stated also, Kerosene works wonders with Tar. As far as the exhaust tips, I usually spray mine down with the Tarminator and then rub with a #000 steel wool. Once all the tar is off, I use Mothers Billet Aluminum Polish with a #0000 steel wool, and it brings it to a nice luster. This is the same process for my chrome nerf "step" bars.

 

[CumminsCrazed]

so you actually polish your tip using #0000 steel wool?? i was thinking of using nevrdull after removing the tar?



Also, does #000 harm SS any more than #0000 when scrubbing with it? Just got this exhaust put on and really dont want to hurt anything yet LOL!

Depending on the quality of SS and the material of steel wool, you might scratch the tailpipe. Not all SS steel is the same. And steel wool can be made from different metals, some are no rust, which i think would be fillings of nickel or SS.



If you can find brass wool, try that.



If the tar is fresh it should come off quick with a solvent.

 

[CumminsCrazed]

well its fresh, but it was on a hot tailpipe for a 6 hr drive......so its VERY baked on!
