Little Black Spots

[Cuppy 172]

Hi,

Cleaning my car at the weekend and I notice black spots around the wheel arches & doors. Looks like tar spots or something.

Anybody else had these, how can I get rid easily. I spend 2 hours just cleaning the damn wheel arch, my fingers hurt!!!!!

You can get tar and glue remover from places like halfords.



Mat.

The autoglym one is pretty good

Yeah the Autogylm Intensive Tar Remover, the bottle with the dark blue label is very good at removing tar spots without having to put in much time or effort.

Autoglym EGP (extra gloss protection) is also excellent at removing them.

Its in an alcohol base so it just dissolves them as you lightly rub it on.

will it shift flies as well? Ive notice this summer the flies are not only hug when they splat, but they must have some bionic properties as well - they will not come off.

WD40 takes it all away

 

[NickP]

Either that or get a large warm wet towel, lay it across the fly infected area, 30 mins later take it off and they will wipe straight off

Or white spirit does the job, need to polich it after though.

Try a little bit of sandpaper!

Get the grinder out

Serious,

WD40 does the trick

I just washed my car, had bloody loads all over the bonnet and roof and sides. Used my fingers on every one, took me bloody hours, lol.

If its tar spots, ome petrol on a rag does the trick too

they are baby alien eggs

 

[BRUN]

use the Auto Glym Tar Remover, its the best of the lot for tar/bugs/oil/wax and general sh*te that shouldnt be on your bodywork
