What Is Bug & Tar Remover?

Grime, tar and bug residue can build up on your vehicle over time and solidify into a coating that’s tough to remove with soap and brushes. Bug and tar removers contain a solvent that loosens and dissolves tough grime, without impacting your car’s paintwork or surface protection. Specially formulated to cut through caked-on deposits, they break down hardened residue and can be easily wiped away as part of your car cleaning routine.

How To Use Bug & Tar Remover

Always check the label of your bug and tar remover for specific instructions.

Ideally, clean your car on a cloudy day or park in the shade to avoid your product evaporating too quickly.
Apply your product liberally on any spots of residue on your car’s exterior.
Leave it to work for a minute or two (check the label for specific directions). Never let the product dry down in full.
Using a sponge or microfibre cloth, gently wipe away the product.
Rinse the area with clean water to remove any remaining residue.

FAQs

Will Bug & Tar Remover Take Off Tree Sap?

Yes, the majority of bug and tar removers will dissolve sticky residues like tree sap – we recommend Auto Finesse Bug & Grime Remover to remove more stubborn deposits. Sap hardens over time, so the sooner you apply a bug and tar remover, the less likely your paintwork is to stain.

How Long Should I Leave Bug & Tar Remover On My Car?

For the best results, apply your bug and tar remover to the residue and leave it to break down for a couple of minutes. Always wipe the product away before it dries down to avoid any further damage to your paintwork.
