Just as the thread title suggests, what is your favorite tar remover? To be quite honest I haven't really tried any dedicated tar removal products yet and was wondering if I could get some insight from you lovely folks on DB. So what works best for you? I'm looking to pick up some products to try out (although that's always the case, LoL) and see how well they work for me. Thanks in advance guys and gals! :headbang: Edit: Here's the list of products to try out... 3M Adhesive Remover 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner Autoglym Tar Remover CG Grime Reaper CG Strong Wash Crest Acry-Solv Goof Off Hi-Temp Tar & Wax Remover Majestic Solutions Bug Off Mark V Meguiar's Body Solvent Poorboy's World Bug Squash Stoner's Tarminator I just realized I have some of the above items but haven't had the opportunity to use them on some heavily tarred vehicles. :doh: Anyway, off to find out what works best for me in the following months to come. :thumb:
I like the Sonax Tar Remover but I don't think it is available in the US. Tardis is also highly recommended but I haven't tried it myself because the Sonax does such a good job Sorry I can't be of more assistance
AS Tardis can't be shipped to the US either. That was going to be my choice for product, but I can't get it

Awesome, thanks a bunch Eric. I thought I'd update my original post to make a listing of some tar removers to try for my reference and for others as well.
Ive used tarminator, meg's body solvent, TAW, etc... PB bug squash was stronger then any of them, even diluted 3:1 I thought tarminator was terrible, it barely did anything
Before I got into detailing, I always used White Spirit! White spirit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oh don't you guys worry, I now have two 55Gallon drums in my possession of Tardis, just working out the final details on shipping. Shipping such an explosive product is harder then I expected, but I don't give up easy
I need something better than my Megs body solvent.Hint hint Carlos. I also have tarminator..seems to be better than the Megs.
I know sorry guys, it's taken me longer then I anticipated to be able to ship Tardis out, I've got so much Tardis now that there will be plenty to go around to all Detailing Bliss members and I would still have enough to last me for this full year :cheerl: I enjoyed using Tarminator, but just a few things, things I didn't like about it. One it takes too long to work and two because it takes too long you have to use quite a bit of it...but before I had Taardis this iwas the only thing I found got the job done...even though it took it's time :roll:
I'll snap some pictures of the barrels and the amount of individual canisters that came with it :cheerl: you know to keep the small candle light of hope allive.
Oh no, the barrels are completely full...supper heavy too, I'm just happy DB Boss gave me some room to store the stuff, it would never fit in my garage. I haven't been able to ship Tardis to anyone, I have to be very careful with how it's shipped and that's what the delay has been. Once I get the shipping all sorted out I "may" send samples but I'm not sure how the samples will work :shead:
No problem! You said that you have some of those listed but haven't tried them yet. Do you have Grime Reaper or Bug Squash?
