Tar Removal
Tar Removal from Car Paintwork
All vehicles drive on tarmac which means at some point Tar will build up on the bodywork.
Unfortunately we can not avoid it, Tar spots & splatters end up on our cars & vans but if you look close enough you will notice more tar is always on the drivers side.
Why is this? Simply because we drive on the left hand side of the road. When we drive our wheels get very hot indeed, small pieces of tarmac land on our wheels which melts and sends the tar all over our vehicles from each side of the road.
Hence why the drivers side usually gets the largest build up of tar spotting.

The black spots are Tar spots, these spots look unsightly on lighter coloured vehicles & really stand out on white paintwork.

In some cases the company that laid the road surface could be to blame if the tarmac on the road surface has not had time to dwell long enough before they allow vehicles on it.
If this happens, then the result is usually a very heavy build up of tar under & around the wheel arches & panels.
