I use auto finesse obliterate which works amazing at removing tar. Not saying it does it in one go but couple of passes and all clean. I have heard got things about autosmart tardis and think alot of people favour it.

Maybe depends on the tar I suppose, some probably sets harder than others, our car it absolutely covered at the moment (and I mean covered) after a botch repair job on our road, I had a go on a couple of the worst panels the other night with AG tar remover and thought it worked brilliantly.

If the car is protected with a wax or sealant i think ag tar remover may work better, but was her car wasn't protected and god knows how long the tar was on there for. Dont think it is as strong as others out there. If tar isnt on there long will prob come off with AG but always like the have something that requires less work :laugh:
See what you mean, there are probably easier things out there, my next door neighbour uses Tardis and it looks a bit less involved but our car has had an amazing detailing job done by the previous owner so that probably helps.

A little white spirit on a cloth, just remember whatever you use that you will have to wax that area again as it will have been removed

Thanks guys.
I'm going to try WD40 on a small area as well as Autosmart Tardis to compare results.
Agreed, AG Tar remover isn't exactly brilliant.

Show N shine waterless wash. The range sell this stuff and usually have BOGOF deals. Its fantastic on hard tar spots
xjay1337:
Use autosmart tardis that is the only product you need to use
It's also by far the cheapest out of any of the products on a per ML basis so honestly don't waste your time with WD40 or anything else.
Be careful of getting any tar removal product on any plastic rub strips eg the GTI skirts..
