Asphalt Tar Remover

Raised black dots along the door sills and wheel arches are usually road tar. It is heavy petroleum that does not dissolve in water, so car wash soap can’t touch it. It needs a solvent.

Yes, used as directed on factory clear coat: work in the shade, wipe once the tar softens, don't let it dry on the paint, and wash the car afterward. Spot-test matte paint, wraps, and fresh touch-up paint first.

30 seconds to 2 minutes, until the tar melts and runs brown. For thick spots, spray a second time rather than waiting longer.

Work in the shade on a cool panel, spray the tar spots only, and wipe once they melt—don't let the product dry on the paint. The solvents dissolve tar much like oil dissolves oil, so the spot softens and runs brown; wipe top to bottom with a soft microfiber, flipping to a clean side as it darkens. Wash the car afterward to remove solvent residue, and spot-test matte paint, wraps, and fresh paint first.

Yes. Solvent residue attracts dust and keeps wax or coatings from bonding. Wash, dry, then wax.

Yes on wheels. On unpainted black plastic bumpers and trim, test first, keep contact short, and rinse promptly so it doesn’t whiten.

Asphalt on paving shovels, scrapers, and wheelbarrows, and tar stuck to shoe soles, wiped with a cloth.

Yes—that’s the tar dissolving. Don’t smear it with a dry cloth; let it run for about 30 seconds, then wipe top to bottom with a soft cloth. Any brown trace washes off with the car wash.

Spot-test first, keep contact under 30 seconds, and wipe it off fast. Don’t spray film edges or seams—solvent that gets underneath can lift them. Matte film is more sensitive; if in doubt, skip it.

For scattered spots on the sills and wheel arches, a sedan usually takes a few dozen milliliters. Road-trip cars and SUVs with heavy spotting take more. Spray the spots, not whole panels.

No, it isn't made for fabric. It's designed for car paint, wheels, bumpers, and metal tools; fabric soaks up the solvent along with the dissolved tar, which can leave an oily ring or pull color. Use a laundry stain remover made for oily stains, and test it on an inside seam first.

Petroleum-type and terpene solvents—tar is heavy petroleum, so it dissolves in solvents with a similar makeup and ignores water and car wash soap. That's how this remover works: a dearomatized petroleum solvent and terpene solvent with a little emulsifier, so the dissolved tar wipes away and the residue rinses off when you wash the car.

Three things: professional detailer line or retail for car owners, spray or foam, and whether it must be low-odor. Pro lines value speed and bulk sizes; retail values reassurance and scent.

Free samples are usually ready in 3–5 days. Standard MOQ is 500 bottles, and bulk orders are scheduled after packaging and labels are approved.

All of it: formula direction, scent, fill size (500 mL spray, 1 L and 5 L refills, and more), mist or foam trigger, label design and language, and ecommerce bundles with microfiber detailing towels.

Yes, we ship samples first. Test them on painted automotive panels with tar spots like the ones your customers handle, and record time to dissolve tar, wipe passes, and effect on clear coat and plastic trim. That tells you more than a before-and-after photo.

We provide SDS/MSDS, a TDS, and batch COAs, plus bilingual label content for your target market. They aren’t posted publicly; we send them per project on inquiry.

Pricing is tiered by packaging, trigger or cap, label, and order quantity, starting at the 500-bottle MOQ. Send your target quantity, fill size, and packaging needs, and we’ll quote unit prices by volume tier with sample and lead-time details.
