When to apply Tar / Resin Remover?
The " Tar / Resin remover " product is an essential element in the second phase of car detailing, that is, decontamination. This product is designed to firmly, but gently remove tar, resin, glues and other sticky contaminants that can adhere to the car paint and cause damage or corrosion over time.
Tar/Resin Remover should be applied when there are contaminants such as tar, resin, glues, gummy residue or other sticky substances on the surface of the car.
Here are some situations in which it is appropriate to use this product:
- Visible Contaminants : If you notice dark or sticky spots on your car paint, it's a clear sign that the tar or resin needs to be removed. These contaminants can come from fresh asphalt, trees, or road construction. For example, if you've noticed dark tar stains on the underside of your car doors due to roadworks, Tar/Resin Remover is ideal for removing them before proceeding with the next steps of car detailing
- After washing : washing serves to clear the surface of most residues and traces of dirt. The application of Tar / Resin Remover can follow this first phase in order to act on the remaining stubborn encrustations and specifically on the gummy residues of the resin or on the accumulations of tar on the bodywork. This ensures that contaminants are effectively removed before proceeding with a second rinse and wash and general cleaning of the car
- In the preparation process : Before carrying out subsequent steps such as applying polish or polishing, it is important to ensure that the paint is free of contaminants. Tar / Resin Remover plays a vital role in this preparatory phase
Here's what you'll need to do in the presence of resin and tar:
- carefully inspect the paint surface for areas where tar, resin or other sticky substances are present
- Carefully read the manufacturer's instructions containing specific details on how to apply and use the product effectively
- wear protective gloves to protect your hands
- wash the car, apply Tar / Resin remover directly to the contaminated surface and leave to act for the recommended time, generally a few minutes
- use a microfiber cloth to gently remove contaminants
- rinse and rewash the car to remove all residues
The application of Tar / Resin remover is particularly important when there are contaminants that are difficult to remove by washing alone. This product can help ensure a clean, contaminant-free work surface before proceeding with subsequent steps of car detailing, such as applying polish or buffing.
