Yesterday (Saturday 12 September 2015) I headed up to Fielding, to Manfield Race track for FlatNats,
While there i saw the guys from Auto Clique, with a table full of car cleaning and care products, one of which was tar remover.
I have tried a similar product before made by Turtle wax, and although somewhat effective, i was rather under whelmed.
So i talked tot he guys about this product with a rather critical view, but given i was feeling a little flush, i bought it anyway, ho-hum price of $30.00NZD
This is what my car looked like before...
an average 2002 Subaru Legacy GT30, non turbo, 3 Litre, 6 cylinder wagon.
it can be cleaned and made to look like a semi-pretty street car, but given the scuffs on the paint on 3 out of the 4 corners from the previous owner, and the fact that its over 10 years old and much of that time has been spent carrying kids to and from school, its not in perfect condition.
if you look closely you'll see many imperfections, and what i thought were stone chips..
this is after I had already tried the Turtle wax bug and tar remover by the way.
So this Tar remover i got from the Auto Clique guys, I'm told is similar to "orange cleaner" and yes it certainly has a strong citrus smell to it.
I was told to spray all over the car, and leave to "work its magic" for around 5 minutes...
then wipe with a clean towel or rag... and the results are amazing!
the tar remover from Auto Clique took off all the tar, and what i thought were stone chips, and more!
I ended up having to use to on the whole car as the parts i used it on initially made the rest of the car look dirty.
So in conclusion... and remember i actually paid for this product, I wasn't given it for to rant and rave about it...
this stuff...
is a complete waste of time!
this stuff however...
should be in every car guys shed, and used on every car you buy as a first port of call.
So in summing up, the product is amazing, and I will be going back to the Auto Clique team for further products and time, and money allow.
this is what the car looks like now, and I'm very impressed with it.
its still not perfect, with a few bits of paint missing, but its far better than it was, and really what do you need from a wagon that is mainly used to cart dirt bikes around the country side?
