This thread is here for all of our customers and members of the product test panel to submit reviews, pictures and discuss our tar and glue remover, ObliTARate.
An overview of ObliTARate:
Watch tar and glue residues get ObliTARate, Auto Finesse style! Auto Finesse ObliTARate’s strong, solvent-based formula quickly dissolves contamination on contact, removing even the most stubborn tar and glue residues without damaging the underlying finish.
ObliTARate is perfect for removing bitumen tar, rubber residues, glue, and adhesive from decals, vehicle wraps, paint protection films, and wheel weights. Its strong solvent-based formula starts to dissolve contamination on contact, virtually eliminating the need for multiple applications, or damage from harsh ‘tar sponges’ and scrubbing pads.
Why use a dedicated tar & glue remover?
Often over looked, the removal of tar with a solvent based tar and glue remover is a crucial stage when decontaminating your vehicles paintwork, wheels and chassis. The use of ObliTARate during the decontamination stage will remove a large amount of road tar and rubber prior to claying the vehicle with either a clay bar or other clay media. In turn this will help minimise the chances of marring your paint finish during the claying stage which could later help you down the line when it comes to polishing your paintwork.
Application of ObliTARate:
As with any decontamination stage, ensure that your vehicle is fully washed down to remove any light surface contaminants before you start with ObliTARate.
Here we’re using ObliTARate with one of our clear mini triggers to apply ObliTARate to the surface, however you can also apply ObliTARate via a microfibre cloth. This method is perfect for when you need to perform spot decontamination in specific areas.
ObliTARate at work:
Immediately you will see ObliTARate start to brake down the bond between the road tar and your paintwork. As the excess product runs down the surface it safely carries away the detached residue from the tar spots. This bleeding process is what makes ObliTARate a visually great product to use.
The wipe down:
Finally its time to remove the last bits of tar and rubber left on your paintwork with a microfibre cloth. Simply wipe across the surface in one motion to remove the last tar and rubber. Be sure to put this microfibre aside so you don’t use it later on in the detail, as once the tar has dried out it can add serious defects to your paint finish.
Top tip:
A final top tip for tar and glue removal is the use of cotton make-up pads of a concentrated area. Simply add ObliTARate to the cotton make-up pad and apply to the surface. The pad with then hold to the area ensuring a concentrate amount work one area. This is perfect for larger tar spots a glue residue removal.
We look forward to hearing and seeing your experiences with ObliTARate and results it leaves for you…
