1 more for WD-40

I've tried many different bug & tar removers over the years til i used WD-40. It cleans the tar off faster and with less elbow grease than anything else I've tried.

thanx guys ill try WD-40 first, i just wanted your opinions and know what has worked for you

Big Ron · 02-14-2011, 08:33 PM

I also use 100% Pure Cotton round pads from Wally World and spray the WD-40 on the pad. This way you can control the amount and the area on the paint. Finish with a good coat of wax. The wax will help remove the last traces of tar.
