Black tar like spots on paint

[hon_n_gem]

Hi all,

I have quite a few, and very annoying, black tar like spots over the car. They were on there from when I bought it but, I cannot seem to get rid of them. Ive tried a few things but nothing seems to work?! Any ideas?!

Or shall I get a professionl car detailer?!

Cheers,

Hon

Tried autoglym tar and adhesive remover? works well just leave on for a few minutes and it should take off all tar spots.

I used to use a product I bought from the pound shop called "151 tar spot remover" which was nothing short of awesome. Simply spray on, leave a couple of seconds and it was like it was eating the tar...then simply wipe off then polish. To this day, I've not found anything remotely as good...there's always a ton of elbow grease required...boo!

Unfortunately, this product doesn't seem to be in circulation anymore, unless someone can tell me otherwise?

WD40 does the same thing - that's what I use.

Autosmart Tardis, nothing beats this.

a decent clay bar will do the trick, I used to have the same problem with my Ovni LCR, many tiny pin-head sized spots that were hard to shift even with a finger nail, they were usually all over the rear of the car which led me to believe it was possibly caused by hot exhaust gases or similar?
Anyway treat it to a good old claying and you should be fine mate
cheers
