A common summer occurrence is tar stains on cars. Something totally invisible on black paintwork can seriously spoil the appearance of a white vehicle. Anyone who has ever had such a tar stain on their car knows how difficult and laborious it is to remove it. Due to the strong solar radiation and the rising temperatures in summer, the temperature of the road surface also increases. Due to the increasing heat, the asphalt becomes softer and softer and when the car drives over the soft road, part of the asphalt sticks to the tires. Depending on the speed, the lumps fly off the tires and spread to typical areas such as the fenders, the sills or the doors. And cars or trucks driving ahead can even cause dirt to build up on the bonnet or roof. The tar spatter then quickly hardens again due to the wind and can only be removed with a special tar solvent.
What are the tar spatters made of?
Strictly speaking, tar splashes are not made of tar, but of a composite of bitumen-coated stones. What very few people know is that tar is extracted from hard coal and has been banned in road construction for decades. Since then, bitumen has been used in road construction because tar has been shown to be highly carcinogenic. In addition, bitumen is obtained from petroleum and, according to current research, is considered harmless to health. The black spot on the body is therefore colloquially referred to as a tar spot or tar spatter, although it is more likely to be made of bitumen.
How to properly remove tar
After driving in over 30 degrees in the summer, you can be sure that your car has received countless tar stains. The sooner you act now, the easier it will be to remove the tiny black spots. The easiest way to remove tar is with traditional chemical-based tar removers. This is specifically designed to remove organic materials (including bitumen). Dried tar and resin stains can hardly be removed with car shampoo. For a simple clean that doesn't damage the car's paintwork, use a tar remover. Make sure that the product has a high cleaning effect with the widest possible field of application.
Application
- Spray bitumen stains generously with it
- Observe the manufacturer's instructions and allow to act accordingly
- The exposure time can vary, but is usually just under a minute
- Use a microfiber cloth suitable for removal
- As an alternative to tar remover for cars, there are tar erasers.
- Home remedies: If the stains are fresh, you can brush them with butter. Leave on for a few minutes and then wipe off.
Another way to remove tar stains is with a special cleaning putty. Knead the cleaning dough until it's soft - remove as with rust film – and then spray the surface liberally with lubricant. Then gently press the flattened play dough over the tar stain until it disappears. Dangerous: Do not use cleaning putty without lubricant. Otherwise, the paint can be severely damaged. Tar removers range in price from €5 to €60.
Tar remover is suitable for the gentle removal of tar and oil stains on paintwork and chrome!
