Tardis, and you should be using it more than 2/3 times a year  :signLOL:

Why? I only use it when I do a full decontamination of the paint before I polish and wax.

I was looking for Tardis but as above was put off by the 5L option, possibly be looking to get some off the link above, just hope it is actually the real thing!!!! (isn't there a law against selling chemicals in unmarked bottles, COSHH etc???)

Anyway I opted for the AG stuff and although it's a bit more hard work it worked a treat and my car was absolutely splattered after a botch job on the road in our village.

Tardis is meant to be sold and distributed in special containers to avoid leakage as it's essentially hazardous. It's also something that's not meant to be delivered by Royal Mail; courier only. Finally, there have been some reports of people getting ineffective/diluted products.

I don't use Tardis much but I've still got the 5l can and it's still not empty after 3-4 years. Will probably need to order some more this year I reckon.

I was using AG tar remover, but had read so much about Tardis I thought I would give it a go.
I'm glad I did it works loads better than AG tar remover. And as said above it comes in a 5l tin, it will last a few year.

I bought a bottle of Autoglym Intensive tar remover from Halfords a few weeks ago for around £6-50 and it seemed to do the job really well. I've never experienced a "tar" problem before so this was the only product I was aware of at the time and since getting a white coloured GTi its obviously shows up a lot more. I'm sure there are better products available but all I can say it that I was pleased with the result in had on my car. :happy2:
