Best solution to use to remove tar from bumpers?
Best solution to use to remove tar from bumpers? I tried some stuff from the local autozone that worked just OKAY but there is still some tar on there that needs something stronger to rub off. What do you guys use?
whats the point of no return with mostly bugs but tar also. Like how long after it's been on the car is it almost impossible to take it off. I have a 99 NBM firebird that i bought in june and the owner i guess wasn't really **** about the fron end and the bug spots so I don't know how long they have been there. I s there still a way that I can get them off after probably 3-4 years.

WD40 works so long as you are ok with washing and waxing afterwards. Clay is a better recommendation but WD40 works and is safe so long as you don't grind away with a filthy rag.

Verdad Gallardo put it this way. my car is a '98 and the original owner was a teenage girl who smoked and never washed the car. it's now 2007, 9 years later. gross. the tar is so bad that it almost looks like paint drip. but it isn't bc i managed to get half of it off and am satisfied with the results so far but the bug and tar **** i'm using won't get to the deep stuff. it just seems so well pitted in there. i'm giong to try the claybar. time to restore this car's paint!
the tar itself is on the inner fender panels where you screw them in, right in front of and behind the tires.

Go buy some wax and grease remover from an automotive paint supply place. Works great on all the real nasty tough stuff. Still will take a rag and some elbow grease to get some of it off it it's as bad as you say. Get the bulk of it off then claybar it to move it out. If its anything like my car you'll have a bunch of rock chips on it. Mine's a 2002 and I bought it brand new and take care of it and only have 25K miles on it and I have a ton of little paint chips on the rockers. Damn cheap *** GM paint!
