About CARPRO TarX

Tar, bug guts and old sticker glue laugh at shampoo. TarX is a citrus solvent that penetrates them, lifts them and lets you wipe them away with barely any effort. It is tinted, so you can see exactly where it has landed, no overexposure, no missed spots.

Use it on tar behind the wheel arches, badge and decal glue, baked on bugs on the bumper and headlights, or greasy suspension and engine parts. Safe on paint, trim, plastics, metal, glass and coatings when used as directed.

It belongs at the start of a detail, before the wash. Get the stuck on stuff off first and your mitt, foam and polish can do fine work instead of brute force. Find the rest of the bug and tar removers here.

Why it works

  • Tar, glue and bugs. One product for the three worst.
  • Tinted. You can see coverage as you spray.
  • Degreases too. Suspension, frames, engine parts.
  • Broad surface safety. Paint, glass, trim, wheels, coatings.

Shipping: dangerous good, excluded from the $150 free shipping offer. See shipping.

Customers Talked About
Reviews Summary
Customers say this tar remover works quickly and effectively, melting away tar spots, adhesive residue, tree sap, and other sticky substances. Users find it easy to use - simply spray and watch it dissolve deposits before wiping clean. Many note it removes most tar with one application, though thicker deposits may need a second treatment. Several customers mention it outperforms other tar removers they've tried. Common feedback includes issues with the spray bottle trigger getting stuck or not working properly after use. Some users appreciate its versatility for removing various substances including bug residue and sticker adhesive. One customer noted it's potent enough to loosen wheel weights, advising caution around adhesive-mounted items.

    Finally something that works!

    Tar is a big issue in my area and I've tried a few "Tar Removers" that seemingly did nothing but this product works no problem. I'll be buying it in bulk next order
