Tar & Bitumen Remover is a powerful solvent-based cleaner designed to dissolve stubborn road tar, glue, adhesive residue, and bitumen contamination from painted vehicle surfaces quickly and safely. Whether caused by road construction, underbody splash, or everyday driving, tar spots can bond tightly to paintwork — this specialist formula breaks them down instantly, allowing effortless removal without the need for brushing or aggressive scrubbing.


Safe for use on all automotive paint finishes, Tar & Bitumen Remover works by softening and dissolving contamination on contact, ensuring minimal physical abrasion to the surface. This protects vehicle paintwork, reduces the risk of swirl marks, and makes the product an ideal part of any decontamination or pre-polishing process.


Simply apply directly to the affected area, allow the solvent to work, and wipe away with a clean cloth. The product is highly effective for valeters, detailing professionals, bodyshops, fleet operators, and drivers wanting to maintain a smooth, clean, contaminant-free finish on their vehicle.
