    Cleaning/detailing/ stubborn tar removal

    Hi all!

    What do you all do to detail/shine your motors?

    I have washed mine and as it has been sitting round for quite a while, there is tar balls on the paint and it's a fcker to get off.

    Tried tar and bug remover with a special sponge, hardly moves it.....

    Is there any industrial way of getting it all off?

    Thanks

    Lee

    Paint degreaser will remove tar easily and won't damage your paintwork. If this doesn't work, then it's not tar and is probably some kind of fallout which will need claying to remove! If this is the case, I'd recommend a clay mitt as they are sooo easy and fast to use
