The roads in our neighborhood were just done. My car was parked on my drive way when they sprayed the asphalt and my car got covered with little black dots. I panicked and looked up videos and came across this spray!I sprayed the affected areas and it came off like butter! 10/10 recommend this if you find yourself in a situation like this.

Versatile and Eco-Friendly: Suitable for a wide array of applications, Citrol is both biodegradable and safe for the environment, aligning with eco-conscious detailing practices.

Real-World Efficacy:

Unmatched in Removing Tar and Sap: Its effectiveness in swiftly cleaning away stubborn contaminants has been proven time and again in my detailing projects.
Consideration for Cost and Accessories: Despite its higher price point and the additional need for a spray bottle, the value Citrol provides through its efficiency justifies the investment.
Application Tips:

Protecting Vehicle Finishes: To ensure safety, it's advisable to test on a hidden area and consider dilution for lighter stains, preserving the vehicle's finish while benefiting from Citrol's cleaning power.
Conclusion:

Schaeffer's 266 Citrol Cleaner has significantly enhanced my detailing services, offering an effective, environmentally friendly solution to tough stains. Its careful use is paramount to harness its benefits without compromising the vehicle's integrity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing I have tried to remove disgusting neon bug guts from my car.
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2020
Style: DegreaserVerified Purchase
I bought a new car in October of 2018. In July of 2019, I ended up with the most disgusting lime green neon spots all over the windshield, hood, and just a few on the sides of my car after a road trip on an interstate. I am assuming it was some sort of strange bug because I didn't see anyone actually painting while we were travelling.

Of course, I used the washer fluid and wipers, but it didn't affect it. After returning home, I went through the car wash. It didn't help. My local car wash changed companies and added a promotion where you could get unlimited car washes for one month for just $1 (after one month the price would increase to $20.) I jumped at the chance. Surely, repeated high pressure car washes would remove that filth from my pretty car. I even pointed it out to the gentleman with the big brush of prewash fluid, and he suggested I make a few trips through the wash right then. He was sure it would come off. It didn't.

I tried different products. If Coca Cola can remove rust from car batteries, that should do it, right? Wrong.
I tried Dawn blue dish washing detergent, Krud Cutter, Lysol, Fantastic, WD40, Goo Gone and Goof Off . The Goof Off made it a little lighter with a lot of scrubbing, but as many spots as there were, I didn't have that much elbow grease in me.

I "Googled" how to get bug guts off car. I'm glad I did. A YouTube video demonstrated this product. They warned that this product is not cheap, but that it is very effective. They were right. I excitedly bought a can. I hesitated momentarily at the price, but I figured it was worth it if it removed those neon green spots.

The day I got the can in the mail, I ran outside with it and some paper towels. My spouse probably thinks I'm insane because I really do get crazy over some strange things, but I sprayed this stuff on the spots, waited a few minutes, wiped with paper towels, and the spots disappeared! I couldn't believe it. I tried so many things! This even smells good! I like citrus smells, and this has a strong one. I spent a long time spraying and wiping because I had hundreds of spots, but it did the job.

No evidence afterwards that I had used anything on the car. No discoloration, or texture change to the painted metal or fiberglass. I waited a while to review this product just to be sure that I wouldn't notice a difference where I had used it after a while. This was even used on the windshield. No harm to the glass either.

I highly recommend this product. Yes, it's pricey, but if you have tried other things, and are struggling to remove something adhered, give this a try. Hide it so that everyone in your house doesn't grab it as the first thing to try, but keep it on hand. :) I know I will buy this product again. Stop scrubbing and swearing, and buy Citrol.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024

I saw this on an uploaded video and thought I’d try it on some stubborn road ‘tar’ and bug marks. I hadn’t been able to remove the road tar with anything else (and was just lazy about the bugs…😁). I thought I’d give it a try. Wow! Totally removed the stubborn buildup and has a nice citrus smell unlike most solvents. I am so glad I tried it! The buildup either ran off with the dripping liquid or easily wiped off with a second small spray application. Loved it!

A tad pricey, but works great on getting tar and tree sap off your car! I took the car through a car wash then used this product on my problem areas and wiped it off with a microfiber towel. I went back over where I used it with soap and water just to get rid of any leftover residue/chemicals.

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024

This actually worked well, I'm very pleased. A drop of nail polish was spilled onto my tan leather car seat. I wiped it immediately with a clorox wipe only to find a haze later on. By the time this product was delivered the polish had been dried onto the seat for a week. One application of this stuff and the polish was GONE! Super impressed.

Works pretty well. Spray it on and after 10 or 15 seconds of letting it sit it takes most of the bugs of. A few times I had to go a second time over the dirtier spots. I like it, but with shipping and everything $61 is a bit much for me. Without shipping the price is reasonable.
