if the tar removal didn't work you could try some clay and see if that shifts it pal.

the detailing boys will be able to help you more

autosmart tardis will actually melt the tar from your car. but is safe to use on paintwork. try getting a hold of that if you can.

failing that, maybe some aggresive clay, but will then probably require polishing.

How did you use the Autoglym Tar Remover, left on for a few mins it should dissolve it nicely.

as it said on the bottle "apply to contaminaited area, leave for 2-3 mins and clean of with dry cloth or wash of with clean water, agitate if required," tryed agitating but i think it will nead a numatic drill to shift the dam things,lol

Clay should shear it off but it is not the safest option.

Repeated applications of the AG should get there in the end though.

As for polish recommendations, by hand or machine ?

 

[cam_hoof]

cheers will try AG but faillin that will try the clay,
sorry wasnt clear on the polish i ment product,
cheers cam

If your applying by hand. And dont want to spend £££'s on items. I recomend Meguires NXT wax. Very easy to apply and gives good results. A monkey could use it and not go wrong...

Should not really have to rub to hard, the product is designed to dissolve it. I have it in 5 litre sizes so don't think twice about using lots. If I had a tiny 325ml bottle things may be different.

The only trouble i find with this is it smells good enogh to eat , might be tempted if i miss breakfast lol

I have had good result from this too but durability is questionable

Ditto I used to like it on my old 205 GTi looks wise just needed reapplying each week. The cleaners on it mean it is not even layerable.

 

[Little Newms]

Then be brave and use Megs #16

Builds those arms up lol!

Megs #16 (warning do a panel at a time and use very very thin layers!!!)

This piicture was taken two months after applying the wax

And this happens when it rains

 

[cam_hoof]

thats the prob i only have 325ml bottle an i nearly used the lot but if it will make my paint as smooth as your's looks plus the help of some nxt wax then a 5ltr bottle may be required,
cheers cam
ps your car looks stunning,

 

[Rich]

Sod that I will stick to using it by PC and a 4 inch spot pad !

 

[cam_hoof]

i take it that megs #16 is pretty hard core stuff then how much does it cost? im not affraid of a bit of elbow grease!

It is durable just not the most user friendly product in the world.

 

[cam_hoof]

when you say "not the most user freindly" what exactly should i be expectin from this product? or would it be best to get the misses to give it a blast first an see how she feals after,lol

 

[Reyes]

weird, ive just came in from cleaning my car trying to get rid of tar spots and a thread pops up..

 

[cam_hoof]

its nice to now im not the only 1 with this prob,lol

If you apply it to thickly it can be an arse to remove.

 

[cam_hoof]

thanks for that will be very carefull in applyin
cheers,

collinite 476 is a good durable wax and i never had any problems using it

I have just bought a tin of #16 to see how it compares

 

[Clgale88]
