Got to finally detail my moms SUV, the thing was a nightmare.. She really doesn't take care of it.. The paint was severely swirled,tons of tar, overspray, scratches (some through the clearcoat) etc.. I didn't really have the time to Claybar to try and remove the overspray so in some cashes the overspray still existed but I need to detail the truck again because it was in such bad shape.. Also, the Tar is so thick it's like cement and can't get rid of it.. I am going to have to investigate some tar removal products...

The truck has 116k miles, interior was a nightmare

Anyways I started off with Adams Green and Orange swirl removers (green,orange pads) and after doing a test section I noticed the cut wasn't enough.. So I switched over to Megs105 w/ LC orange pad and got much better results.. I ended up polishing with Menzerna 85rd w/LC Black Pad (great stuff by the way) and sealed with Adams Sealant..

Also, don't mind the tire gel (I hate using that crap but it's all I had left and didnt have time to run and get something else or order my Zaino Tire Care)

For future Stoners Tarminator Works great for Tar. It can also be picked up at wal mart and just about any auto store.

 

Thanks everyone... and Tirdgen, I will have to check this out because ill tell you what this tar doesnt even budge one bit

 

Great work! How long did it take? What did your mom say?

 

With everything about 7 1/2 hours, I spent most of the time trying to get that tar off the wheels.. Raw Knuckles

She was pleased so it was worth it.. Now i told her to take care of it, we'll see how that goes haha
