The Best Tar Remover For Car - Guaranteed! 

Thank you, Scott! I'm 16 and just started my own detailing business and I've watched all of your videos. All of the other channels just want to sell their products but you, on the other hand, are giving us some good old-fashioned​ tricks of the trade. thank you so much

Thank you for this recomendation! I also have used diesel and works amazing without damaging the paint! You have to work fast, use a microfiber towel, and once you are done, wash the car with wax soap and the car will look like new!!! 🙌

I used to detail cars, and did for years. Ive tried many tar removers. The best thing I can say to use is diesel fuel. I just put rubber gloves on and took a cheap sponge and put a layer of diesel fuel on the tar. It softens up fast, even the dried on tar like in this video. Then take the blue thick shop towels, I used about 3 or 4 at a time, dip it in the diesel fuel and it wipes right off. Then I washed the car with blue DAWN dish liquid and hot water. Tar and film will be all gone. Then I waxed or polished the car well. Paint looked amazing, and I never had a customer complaint. And the diesel will not damage paint or clear coat. And way cheaper than this stuff ^^^^^^^^^^

If you like the Citrol on tar, I think you'll love the Stoner Tarminator even better. That stuff just annihilates tar on contact, its just not safe on exposed plastics, particularly clear plastic. Koch Chemie Eulex (Eu), is another great and cost effective tar buster, that's very fast - however it has the same issue as Tarminator, it will eat clear plastics. A great safe tar remover I found has been the Gyeon Q2M TAR, that stuff will take tar off no problem, maybe slightly slower, but its safe for all surfaces, so you don't have to worry about damaging customers cars.

Best tar, and least expensive remover I’ve ever used, gasoline. Use in the shade and wash off immediately when done. I use it once every 3 years on the bottom panels only, unless there’s an unexpected road splatter. About 1/4 cup does the whole job.

Thanks Scott. I bought the Citrol and tried it on my tarred 2016 white pickup. It worked great.

What a great person to share what he does for a living and to help other's out

My car looks just like that.The rocker panel and the lower part of my front door are covered in tar.I noticed it a week after driving through a newly paved pothole. Good to know Citrol 266 is safe to use.Bug & tar removers don't do anything.Other channels use the strongest chemicals that i am uncomfortable withThank you for the tip.

no one : You: lightly spray *Sprays half the can

Will it damage the clear coat or harm the paint?

Citrol 266 and a Magic Eraser with light pressure. I only use it when I'm about to do correction, and when you use it without correction you will have to apply/ reapply protection i.e. wax, sealant, etc.

“Hey we’re here in Dallas Texas “ *has a heavy Long Island accent * 😂😂

I just used Awesome Orange from the Dollar Store on tar that I haven’t been able to get off for 8 months. It worked like magic with an easy damp sponge wipe. I did all 4 panels in about 5 min.

Hello Scott thanks for all your knowledge. Have u tried Wd40? Also works to remove tar nicely

Super stuff.Used this stuff on school buses,expensive but works great.Schaefers also makes the best grease I have ever seen.

Did anybody experience clearcoat damage or Paint damage while they’re trying to remove tar after using this product? And if they did what did you guys do to repair it simply paint correction?

Awesome Orange at the dollar store works great and it's $1

Hello Scott! Now that I watch this video Maybe you could make one of how to remove dried concrete, my mom's car got some on the side skirt and it's really stuck to the paint. Thank You & grat job .

Can this stuff be used to prep the entire vehicle for a ceramic coating?

I admire your genuine love and respect. Much love brother

2 WORDS... Goo Gone. Works like charm!

Hello i saw your video on how to remove tar just like to thank you for the information i just ordered one from Amazon.

Great product! What do you think about the Koch Chemie Fw for this application? In case you ever had the chance to try it. Since I don't think I can get this Citrol in my country but I've seen that other product available. Thanks in advance.

Scott, I respect your knowledge, what bug and tar remover are you using on black cars that are ceramic coated? Thanks

The best way to avoid getting tar on your car is to move to Scotland, it never gets warm enough for the tar to melt on the roads, and even if by chance you did get any marks on your car it’s always dark here so you would never notice them 🤣😂

Hi Scott wanted to know if it’s better to do this first or after I wash the car.

“Holy crap Scott stop talking” 😂

Question: some nimrods were sealing the asphalt parking lot at work. It was a windy day. The overspray reached every employee car on the other side of the lot. Whats the best way to clean asphalt sealant from car paint?

Wow, that stuff looks incredible.

FASTORANGE hand cleaner. Soak tarred area with it for a couple of minutes and rub lightly, it will just crumble away. Keep wet. Don't scrub since it contains abrasives unless you want to wax after. Drove through a construction area and some of the tar was more than a 1/4 in thick. Took just over 20 minutes to clean up all 4 wheel areas an only cost $3.49......

Hey Scott, my GMC Terrain has those dark gray plastic side skirts below all the doors. I was wondering if you ever used this tar remover on any unpainted plastic around the doors or bumpers. Thanks

I put dryer sheets in a spray bottle with hot water shake and spray.let sit for at least 5 minutes and come back with a plain dryer sheet to scrub off.then rinse works very well even on the road tar and bugs

No where in my town does anyone sell this stuff. I was in a pawn shop 2 towns over from me and there it was on a shelf for 9.95 a can, what a deal. My wife had traveled heavily for her job and her car was caked with bugs and road grime. I used this stuff and I kid you not I washed all the bugs off without scrubbing with a 2800psi pressure washer. I am sold on this stuff. I'm now 3 cans later. I used it for everything.

The back label on Citrol reads like that disclaimer on Happy Fun Ball from that SNL skit. Cancer, genetic defects, organ toxicity, serious eye damage. I just read the material data safety sheet. I'm not using this stuff despite having two cans of it. I don't care how good it might work given the risks. I had so little tar on my car that I just ended up Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Detailing Clay Mild. But I did try Citrol on tree sap, and it did nothing. The tree sap was there too long and it's already ruined my paint. That's my fault.

Hey Scott ... does this also work on tree dried tree sap?? If not what do u suggest??

i have the same issues and i just don’t know where to look or to find this remover. Where do you purchase the citrol from? TIA

Three to five minutes is a lot better than a paint job for scratched paint

Hello Scott, will C-266 work as a traffic film remover? Take care, great channel!

Does anyone know how Citrol compares with ZEP Citrus degreaser. You can get a gallon on the ZEP concentrate for under $10

Would normally use turps or white spirit but they're oil based so will give the citrus based products a try being more water soluble

I have use kerosene for years!

Need to pick this up for my detailing business..I think it would be better after u use it on the spot and get most of it off take a clay bar then after follow up with some compound or polish..Great gideo

This product is outstanding. Thank you

Hey Scott What tar remover do you recommend to safely use on ppf?

Citrol no doubt is the best, but not necessarily the most cost effective. Any alternatives for Australia mobile detailer?

Will it work if the tar have already stick on the paint for a year ?

What about bugs Scott. Will it work for that as well.

Scott, if we are trying to keep our "arsenal" small will the Rustoleum wax and tar remover do the job here ?

Heating the tar with a hot gun will work too. Might be less aggressive on the paint/finish.

What are the ingredients of this product ? Maybe buy individual chemicals and make own ?

Hey Scott got a question for ya....Would I need to wax again after using citrol 266?

can i use this for motorcycle plastic fairings for tar removal...?? is it safe not to fade the glossy paint?

3m general purpose adhesives remover 20 plus years detailing and painting

When do you put on primer sealer after applying regular primer or before regular primer. I never used primer sealer and every time I have tried to paint my truck it just doesn't come out right.

Got black tar circles in my hood that look like they got baked into paint. Will this work??

Thank you for your content.

Hey Scott I know it's been almost a year since you posted this but I have a question for ya. I drive a semi dump hauling asphalt all summer long and that crap gets everywhere! How well does this product work on druabrite aluminum rims,aluminum fuel tank and on chrome?

Awesome and great video as usual! 👍🏽

I got some white house paint splatter on my car. Would you recommend this?

I always use Goof Off...instant clean and no paint damage in 16 years .

Hey guys, my car was covered in berries from a tree I was parked under (arrgh!). Have tried everything to remove the berry splashes that were left - seems like they have really eaten into the paint. You reckon something like Citrol might be worth a try?

Thanks Scott going to have to pick this up.

Zep makes a great concentrated citrus productand you can get it at your local walmart! About 12 bucks for 1 gallon

Is it ok to use a gas pressure washer with a high psi of like 3200 or will it damage the paint? Or just go with a lower psi electric one? Thank you for any info

I'm sold.. Scott, do you think it would work on 'spray paint' overspray?

Yeah Scott, I actually ordered this stuff and plan to do my windows. Question, are you not supposed to wear a mask while using Citrol. I would have rather tried the liquid.

Amazon won’t ship this to PA but they will ship the low vc type. Hope it works the same

White lithium grease can get rid of tar??

Does it work for black magic wen it gets in your car

Where can you buy this locally? Napa hasn't heard of this when I went in to check.

First! Another great video Scott!

What about for trying to get it out of the carpet on the floor inside the car

Have to pick this up, thanks Scott! Scott, how about my t-shirt idea for the channel?

Hi Scott, would this product work for 'paint splatter' as well?

Is this safe on a drier

Scott! Where did you go?

WD 40 is cheaper and works just as well.

I used Go Gone, oven and grill cleaner.

is this safe on vinyl wraps?

Listen Dallas penitentiary corrector you must tell us what is this (chemical) not just a trade name

Very good!! I’m in Los Angeles. Where do you get Citral???

Love from india❤

Citrus 266 and a steam cleaner would work great together

Does it work for bug removal tho?

Citrol? Or diesel fuel?

Can I get it in California?

How long can I leave it on?

"Holy crap Scott" my favorite line of every video of his

does it remove carplan Super gloss?

Laquir thinner ?

What’s your magic product to remove white roadway paint that been on for ever?

Good job.

I would be hesitant on using acidic based solvents, I think 8 ounces of kerosene in a bucket with a paint brush would be a better option (just keep working it around) and not result in corrosion on exposed metal. Gasoline is too volatile and dangerous in my opinion. I just finished using a can of Brake kleen, $$ it was effective, although it evaporates too quickly. Remember to dispose of oil petroleum soaked rags as the can heat up and ignite over time.

Another amazing tar remover is Zep Big orange / orange gel. Spray on wipe off with a MF towel.

Where can I buy this

ThaAaaaaaNK YOU🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

WD 40 or kerosene works too.

Will it remove polish residue too,...the white stuff?

Scott why did you not try your steam cleaner with the tip on this road tar?
