- 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

Shake well before use.
-
Ensure the surface is clean and completely dry.
