Tar Removal
« on: 18 June 2012, 11:42:55 am »
Are the commercial tar removers any better than using petrol?


If so what is a good one?


Cheers,
Andy

There's quite a few Tar & Glue removers. I can't remember the brand that I have in the garage, but I'm guessing that chemically, they all have the same compounds and work equally well. The only crap ones will be those that are "green"  :lol
