Looking for a recommendation on a good tar remover?
have little specs of a really sticky stubstance on my front bumper (I assumed it's tar based on it's color). Didn't want to scrub it off. Can anyone recommend the least harmful bug/tar remover that is effective?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Stoner Tarminator is a fantastic product.
Simply spray it on, and the tar starts to dissolve.

CarPro Tar X is another great product, but it is a bit more expensive.
NOTE: Tar Removers/Strong cleaners will remove or degrade any traditional wax or sealant. It is important that a new layer of wax is applied after using such products!

It is a solvent based cleaner most commonly used when painting... NOT something I would recommend using on your vehicle. A dedicated automotive detailing tar remover will be the better option.

I have seen many instances where goo gone will leave staining on automotive clear coats... I would advise you to purchase a product specifically meant for use on vehicles.
Some options:
Stoner Tarminator
CarPro Tar X
3M Adhesive Remover
