[jaye2992]

will claying remove all the tar or is it better to use ag intensive tar remover first before claying?

Always use Tardis before claying.

Use a tar remover first! Keeps the clay cleaner too.

was looking at tardis but already bought the autoglym, should i use it just on the panels with visible tar spots?

 

[Yellow Dave]

I would use it pretty much on every panel below the window line.

Does that work better than AG Intensive Tar Remover?

Im not big on detailing mate ill be honest, but it does me for what i use...

Thanks with the tardis is it just a spray on, leave a few mins and wash off job?

easiet way is to use a heat gun and scraper to remove tar strips, then your left with glue residue, to remove the glue youl need to thoroughly soak a rag in some white spirit and dampen and blot the glue patches, leave for 30 secs so the thinner brakes down the glue then scrub away, cheapest and best way.

Why am I not surprised, coming from a Corsa driver.

Tardis followed by claying. Otherwise your clay will come out black and you are likely to have rubbed bits of clay all over your paint work.

Spray Tardis (or ITR if you've already bought it) over the panel (all panels below the window line, to be sure). Wait for a 30 seconds (make sure it doesn't dry), then wipe off with an old MF.

Polished bliss mate. Comes in a large tin. It's called autosmart trades FYI

Large tin? I thought it would come in a spray bottle tbh. Will now look, thanks.

Sopose i'll have to spend a whole £0.95 for a bottle to spray it on with then, this tardis everyone rates so highly better be worth it!

 

[Adam111]

It's good stuff, you wont be disappointed.
I used it the other day and you can literally see the tar dripping/running down your paintwork.

 

[jaye2992]

so just spray it on, leave it for a minute and then wipe off or hose off?

I think it comes in a tin as it will dissolve the plastic bottle if its left in it for too long!

 

[Gally]

You need a grey chem head mate to go with your bottle oh and don't wash it off, you need a damp MF cloth to wipe away the broken down tar.

As above.

What about the Autoglym stuff? Ive got some hefty chunks on the sills.

 

[JD]

Have you actually bothered to read the thread? Or just seen the title and posted?

 

[Gally]

I'm out.

 

[JD]

I've not had a coffee, but one is on the way so I might stick around.

 

[Gally]

I need one.

You have he-mail.

 

[JD]

I don't think I do (spam), I'll he-mail back.

JD - Woa easy, have read but seemed to miss the word 'Autoglym'. Have a nice coffee.
