Removing Tree Sap
stealthwolf:
After washing the car, I tend to use a microfibre soaked in tardis. I find this works better than just spraying it everywhere. I also tend to rub the MF on to the tar spots. Have not had a tar spot that can't be removed with tardis. I then wash the car down again to get rid of any tardis, and then clay.

As Yellowbelly says i was wary of it's potential for damage if i didn't use it correctly the other day and as a result i only removed the fresher tar spots on the car. There are obviously some tar spots from months possible years back on there and Tardis didn't remove them although i never gave it more than about a minute to agitate before wiping off as i didn't wanna screw the paint work or have it run onto the plastic/rubber.
If i'd thought on i may have done the Tardis first and then clayed so the clay may have picked up some of the older tar spots, but then i didn't know if Tardis would fubar the clay... :sad1:

As for your comment regarding knackering your clay with the old tar deposits, repeat the steps with Tardis first so at the very least it will slightly breakdown the tar spots. Clearly the 'cleaner' the paintwork the less crappy the clay bar will get during use however sometimes you just got to put up with the fact it doesnt always last long.
JPC:
just for clarification to other people reading this.... Tardis is great for removing tree sap/tar on a car that you want to remove the wax or sealant.
if you have waxed the car the week before and don't want to do it again, don't use tardis. ;0
stealthwolf:
What would you recommend in that situation Jay?
Frenzy:
Thanks to Stealth and Yellow.
Also curious as to how to remove tar from a waxed car... :popcornsoda:
