TarX
Solvent-based tar and adhesive removerSituational specialist
Effective for petroleum-based spots that shampoo leaves behind. Keep it away from uncertain plastics, fresh repairs and adhesive edges unless compatibility is confirmed.

- Rubber transfer and compatible adhesive residue
- Localized petroleum contamination after washing
Compatible surfaces
- Cool, solvent-resistant painted panels
- Compatible glass
- Surfaces specifically approved by their manufacturer
Avoid or verify first
- Hot panels, prolonged dwell or dried solvent
- Unpainted plastics, fresh paint, PPF seams or vinyl edges without approval
- Using the same towel later on interiors or glass
How to use TarX safely

- 2Apply locally and allow no more than the manufacturer-listed dwell time.
- 3Gently wipe the softened contamination, then wash and rinse the panel to remove residue.
