With all the resent cold weather and the amount of pot holes about the local council are getting there act together and filling them to create speed bumps. Any way with all this fresh tarmac around there is more and more risk that your car is going to be covered in it.

From washing my car today i had tar sports up all the doors, the skirts, front bumper rear bumper, mirror pods behind the wheel arches on the lower wings, so basically everywhere bar the roof and boot.

There are tar removers like AutoGlym Intensive Tar remover which work very well on small surfaces but for the larger areas its quicker to clay bar it to remove the spots and to also create a glass smooth finish on the paint work.

What ever method you choose make sure to wax the area afterward to protect the area and to make it easier to remove any more Tar you might pick up on your journeys.
