This stuff works great! We tried everything to get dried road tar on my white car but nothing worked.
I ordered this and my husband applied it with a little elbow grease. My car is white again. Thank you!
I would definitely recommend this product.

This is the best tar remover I have ever used....BUY IT!

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020

Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I've tried a lot of different tar removers, Turtle Wax, WD40 etc etc. I have a white Audi and the micro sized tar spots that hit my car is frustrating. That's the what you get for buying a white car. This stuff removes it cleanly and brings back that sharp white color that pops. I honestly haven't seen my car this bright since I bought it.

Here's a few tips for you to get the most out of it. I tried using it prior to washing it. It didn't come off as I hoped. IMO, wash your car first. Do the foam and shampoo. While your car is still wet that's when you spray this tar remover on. I feel it works better when wet. The tar on my car finally started to streak down my car. So with that I took my microfiber mit and washed it clean. It felt great seeing all this tar that didn't come off now completely off my car. You can spray again to make sure it all comes off. For me, it only took once.

I highly recommend this if you're having troubles removing tar.

Amazing Product

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2021

Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

This product is simply amazing. I purchased it along with a plastic razor scraper and a Whizzy Wheel with the hopes of removing left over adhesive residue off my car from an old vinyl that had been there for the last 12 years. The Whizzy Wheel worked really good but was requiring a great deal of work, time and one wheel would not have come even close to removing all of the old adhesive from the hood of the car. I used Adam's Tar 10oz - Heavy Duty, Concentrated Road Tar & Adhesive Remover along with the plastic scraper and my several hour job was reduced to about 40 minutes. Adam's tar remover worked well and safely on my car, the paint was still pristine with no dulling that you might get from other heavy duty removers.

I would recommend a few things when using this product:
1. Spray on a cloth, not directly on your car
2. Allow to sit on residue for 10-15 seconds for the tough spots then use plastic razor
3. Use warm soapy water when you are done to wash any residue from product off car.

I had a second cloth to clean off my plastic razor scraper to keep it effectively working, and when I was all done I did go back over the entire hood lightly with my wiping cloth. Here are the links to the scraper I used and the Whizzy Wheel. If you are attempting to remove the vinyl as well, then this wheel does an amazing job.

It works - but takes a bit of elbow grease

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2022

Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

The tar remover works well - but does not dissolve tar as described. You really need to rub or gently scrape the tar to get it off. You can spray as much as you want on there, and the process is the same - rub and scrape. It's WAY better than other brands that I've used...but isn't magic.

This Stuff Works

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2023

Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

My wife got caught behind a tar truck and ended up with the entire front end of her VW bug spotted with tar drops. I did a quick Google search for tar removers and Adam's Tar popped up. Ordered from Amazon (unfortunately, it's not an Amazon Prime product) and it took just a few days to arrive. This morning I applied the product onto the bug and it literally melted the tar away with no damage to the car paint.
I highly recommend Adam's Tar should you find yourself in our shoes or if you're just trying to remove old bumper sticker residue. It works!

Was sent on a detour unto a freshly tarred road and my 2017 Outback was a mess; sides, wheels and rear with globs of tar. Followed easy directions on the can and 40 minutes later things were as good as new. It took several doses and some elbow grease on some big globs. Still had a little left in the can when done.
