Tar and Glue Remover - Detailing and Car Care - Sierra - Image 1
Description

Tar and Glue Remover is a solvent blend that lifts tar, bitumen, glue and wax residue from paint, signwriting and decals, for fleets and detailers.

What it does

Road tar, bitumen splatter and sticker glue cling to paint, and a normal wash will not shift them. This Sierra solvent blend softens and dissolves them so they wipe away, along with old wax residue, and Sierra says it leaves paintwork, signwriting and decals undamaged. The SDS lists light aromatic solvent naphtha and low aromatic white spirit, including trimethylbenzenes and xylene. It is a colourless liquid with an aromatic smell and a flash point of 31ºC, so treat it as flammable.

Where to use it

Lower panels, wheel arches and mudflaps on trucks, trailers and cars after road works, plus glue left by old stickers, badges and decals. For a solvent rated hand sprayer, see the IK HC 1.5 Pump Up Sprayer. More in Detailing and Car Care.

How to use

  1. Work outdoors or in a well ventilated bay, away from flames and sparks.
  2. Apply it neat to the tar or glue with a cloth or solvent rated sprayer.
  3. Give it a moment to soften the deposit, then wipe it off.
  4. Wash the panel afterwards to remove solvent film.

Safe on / avoid

Sierra rates it for paint, signwriting and decals. On fresh paint, soft plastics and rubber, try a hidden spot first. Keep it out of drains, as it is toxic to aquatic life. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.
