Just thought I'd share this little gem with ya.

Just washed my car for first time (Not had it a month yet) and I found that I had a few tar marks on the foor and lower side panels.

I think this was courtesy of a certain clients car park in Hemel Hempstead... grrrrr :x

Went to local Peugeot :monkey: and he recommended AutoGlym "Tar and Glue Remover". Went to local shop, think the :monkey: meant "Intensive Tar Remover" as thats the only one by Autoglym.

The stuff works a treat. Just put a little on a clean cloth and wipe on affected area. The tar mark will vanish with a couple of wipes. Then just rinse off... :D

I was well impressed. If you've got the same prob, I'd recommend getting some. You don't need much and the paint is now spotless again.

BTW, nope I am not on commission, am just glad this stuff worked as I was pretty furious at my client when I found the marks this morning. (They've been giving me a tough time all week, and this was the icing on the cake....)

You've answered a question I've been meaning to ask for ages - thanks! My silver cc (which I wash every week *smug look*) has also got a few tar marks on. Will rush to Halfords and buy some :)

When you use Intensive Tar Remover remember to wax that area after.
Tar Remover is very good stuff but it also takes the wax off :cry:
