Pro 620213 3-in-1 Bug, Tar and Adhesive Remover, 16oz - Premium Bug, Tar and Adhesive Remover to Help Clean and Remove Sticky Contaminants

This worked amazing! I had hardened tar and asphalt on my car from having to swerve into a not-yet-completely-dry asphalt road construction site to avoid a head on collision. I have had this tar on my car for over 2 years. I've taken it to numerous auto body shops and auto detail shops and told they couldn't fix it because the asphalt was too hard and tough. One shop quoted me $10k to replace the side skirts, fenders, angle grind my driver and passenger door then repaint the doors. I tried this product as a last ditch effort and it worked! I went through 3 full bottles and it took about 10-12 hrs worth of cleaning split over a weekend to get off. I've attached a couple before/after photos. I had tar around the entire car, these were just the worst spots. Tips for product use: soak the area you want to clean and give it a few mins to start working. Use a microfiber cloth and get the cloth wet with the cleaning product too. You will use multiple cloths. Constant, soft scrubbing motions on the metal door will slowly break down the asphalt, but it'll take time and a good amount of effort. For the plastic/fiberglass side skirts, the asphalt was much harder to get off. I also used a drywall putty knife to help scrape off the larger asphalt chunks, being careful to not scratch the car paint.

Leaves residue on the surface of the paint. Had to have it buffed out. Took hrs of work to correct. I do not recommend this product if you care about your car

Smells like oranges. Works really well. You can let it sit for a while because it has a viscous, soapy texture that prevents it from drying quickly. Got rid of really stubborn tire-shine splatter on paint. Bugs came off like nothing.

Unfortunately, I did spray it directly on, on my motorcycle's plastic windscreen and the front painted plastic cowling and headlight where the bug mung gathers, which the directions SAID I was supposed to do. Says it's fine for painted surfaces, etc, and to leave it sit for a minute before starting to wipe it off. Well, yes and no... The problem? Ok, it says DO NOT get it on any rubber (because it will eat into it and destroy it). But it's actually more like fine print, not in BOLD TEXT, so that little tidbit of info is easy to miss because of this. Really stupid, since there's so much rubber and rubber coated stuff on our vehicles these days. So, first problem: my windscreen has a rubber strip along the bottom, so it's almost impossible to spray it on the windscreen but somehow not get any on that rubber, let alone let it soak for a minute without it dripping down onto it. But I was careful, only sprayed it on lightly, and kept wiping off the drips running down the screen to keep it from the rubber. USE A MICROFIBER CLOTH, by the way! Especially on plastic or paint! The far worse problem is that I sprayed it on that painted cowling. My front fender is also painted plastic and the stuff I sprayed on the cowling dripped onto that fender. Unconcerned about that because they tell us it's fine, I took my time with the cloth, got all the bug goo off the screen and cowling, and THEN I got to the drips on the fender. Which had somehow sorta burned into the paint, and it's now a bit discolored where that drip streak was sitting for 15 minutes. Furious? Yes. Yes, I am FURIOUS! ****June 17, 2025 EDIT: I need to address the serious flaws in the above here. That discoloration somehow went away. Not sure when, cuz I rarely happen to be looking at my front fender. But, it's gone. No damage to paint or coating. I just left the original paragraph above there so anyone experiencing this could rest easier with this additional info added. Not furious. Just a bit ashamed. lol I would still suggest not letting any of it sit there for a long time, but it seems to be far less a problem than I had thought. ___________ So, what I discovered from all this is that it's really just unnecessary to spray it on, let alone to leave it soak for a minute. Spray it right onto your microfiber cloth and none of this will happen to you. You don't even need to use very much, and it cleans all the crud off just fine this way. And I was surprised to find out that it just rinses right out of the cloth, along with the crud, so it's ready to go the next time I use it. I figured I'd have to throw the cloth out. I mean, it's RAIN-X. But I'm quite glad that it does wash right out. I revised my rating from 4 stars to 5, by the way...

I never write reviews but if I did not for this I would feel guilty. This stuff is amazing. It will remove tar, oil and crap that may find its way on your car. I have removed tar and oil that dripped from the L- line (train) I drive under. Will remove with ease.

I gave this bug remover a 1 star rating for one very simple reason. IT DOSNT REMOVE BUGS!!! It has no other purpose. Just the purpose to remove bugs and it failed miserably. Don’t waste your money. You can see all the bug residue remaining on my headlight after repeatedly cleaning it with this product. Awful

Well, this works but takes some scrubbing. Gotta be honest, was looking for 'Mothers' Bug and Tar remover but found this cheaper. Again, it works, but not like the Mother's. That stuff makes tar start dissolving away as soon as it touches it.

I spot-sprayed this and allowed it dwell for a bit (1-2 minutes) on some sap droplets that had previously resisted both strip wash and iron remover. They flaked off with some light scrubbing from a microfiber. Very effective, at least for the sap droplets I was dealing with! A couple of suggestions: - If you've found this product and aren't familiar with the basics of auto detailing, do yourself a favor and go watch some videos on the subject. This product addresses a very specific problem. It is powerful and, if you use it alone, as opposed to one step in a larger wash, you could run into issues. - I don't see any reason to coat a panel with this. Spot spray it on the problem or problem areas, and immediately wipe off any drips or runs out the area. Or, do like another reviewer suggests and apply it to a microfiber instead of the panel. - Minimally, I would rinse the panel you apply this to, as it will likely strip waxes and coatings. Ideally, I'd use this product at the beginning or mid-way through a car wash, so that you can soap down the entire vehicle and apply/reinforce any wax or ceramic coat products you've applied previously. If you find more sap spots that need attention after drying, don't be lazy. Wash the vehicle down again and reapply coating.
