During last week's road trip to France, we were unlucky enough to have to ride through a section of road where they were laying down new tar. This kicked up onto the frame of our bikes and due to high temperatures in France, has stuck itself down onto both the rear hugger (plastic) as well as metal frame parts and rear shock. What is the best way to remove this tar without destroying the Monster and the Diavel?? Advice welcome - thanks!
Start with paraffin and then for more delicate places use a decent tar remover. Both are oil based so will not damage or discolour paint or plastic.
I use triple qx maintenance spray as its oil based and does the job really well, my wife seems to find tar more than anyone I've ever known! http://www.eurocarparts.com/mobile/...trating-fluids/?542770980&0&cc5_857^cc5_1051^
Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover (has a blue logo/label) is what Andy uses to get tar off my 696 (particularly on my exhausts, where it and the chain fling tend to leave it as spotty as a Dalmatian).
Autoglym tar remover has worked for me - and a few others judging by this Halfords Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover 325ml Customer Ratings & Reviews - Top & Best Rated Products
