Spar-Tar - Tar & Glue Remover

Key Features

  • Rapidly dissolves tar, adhesive and glue residue
  • Powerful hydrocarbon-based formula
  • Removes sticker, badge and protective film residue
  • Built-in emulsifying agents for easy rinsing
  • Ideal for paintwork, wheels and lower body panels
  • Distinctive red formula for easy application

  • Effortlessly Remove Stubborn Tar & Adhesive Residue

Even after a thorough wash, your paintwork can still be covered in stubborn tar spots, adhesive residue and road contamination that ordinary shampoos simply can't remove.

Auto Glanz Spar-Tar is a professional-grade tar and glue remover developed to rapidly dissolve tar deposits, sticky residues and adhesive contamination with minimal effort. Its fast-acting hydrocarbon formula begins breaking down contamination on contact, making paint decontamination quicker, easier and far more effective.

Whether you're removing road tar after a long motorway journey, cleaning up sticker residue or preparing paintwork for polishing, Spar-Tar delivers professional results every time.

Powerful Decontamination Without the Effort

Tar spots are one of the most stubborn forms of contamination found on vehicle paintwork, particularly around lower panels, bumpers and wheels.

Spar-Tar penetrates and softens these deposits within moments, allowing them to be safely wiped away without excessive rubbing that could damage your paintwork.

The advanced formula also excels at removing glue residue left behind by badges, decals, stickers and protective films, making it an invaluable product for restorations, vehicle preparation and routine detailing.

Built-in emulsifying agents allow the product to rinse away easily with water, while the distinctive deep red colour makes it simple to see exactly where the product has been applied.

How To Use

  1. Shake well before use.

  2. Ensure the surface is clean and completely dry.

  3. Spray a light mist directly onto the affected area.

  4. Allow the product to dwell for several moments while it dissolves contamination.

  5. Gently wipe away loosened tar or adhesive using a clean microfibre cloth.

  6. Thoroughly rinse the treated area with clean water.

  7. For best results, follow with a contact wash using your favourite Auto Glanz shampoo.

Do not apply in direct sunlight or allow the product to dry on the surface.

Why Choose Auto Glanz Spar-Tar?

Regular washing removes surface dirt, but bonded tar and adhesive contamination require a dedicated solution.

Spar-Tar has been specifically formulated to dissolve stubborn tar and glue quickly without the need for excessive scrubbing, helping reduce the risk of inflicting scratches during the decontamination process.

Fast-acting, easy to rinse and incredibly versatile, Spar-Tar is an essential product for anyone looking to achieve perfectly clean, contaminant-free paintwork before polishing or applying protection.
