You may only think of removing the obvious visible tar deposits from a long highway trip, when using a tar removing product.\u00a0 There is much more to tar removers and Gyeon Tar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Gyeon<\/p>\n

There is a step to make decontamination more thorough, which involves chemically removing the subtle tar built up from the roads that you may not notice.<\/p>\n

\"Gyeon<\/p>\n

Right behind the wheels on the lower panels, there is an area that is going to often be very contaminated with gunk when using a clay bar.\u00a0 Use of Gyeon Tar in this area will allow for a more accurate all-around decontamination and speed up the claying process.<\/p>\n

There are other advantages here.\u00a0 Chemical and (clay) mechanical contamination removal provides peace of mind that the surface is surgically clean.\u00a0 Combining both methods will reduce potential paint marring from a claybar and likely extend the life of a claybar.<\/p>\n

\"Tar<\/p>\n

There are alternative (albeit imperfect) methods that allows you to get the car as clean as possible without using a claybar.\u00a0 This is important to know for various reasons whether it is time, clay marring, or working on a MATTE FINISH.\u00a0 When paint cleaners were more popular, a lot of the same properties that were in the cleaner polish are comparable to some of the properties that Gyeon Tar possess.\u00a0 That does not make it a perfect replacement or ideal.\u00a0 But a compliment and substitute, either by itself or with the addition of other products.\u00a0 \u00a0Used after at least an iron remover<\/a>, but also waterspot<\/a> cleaner and alkaline soap (all-purpose cleaner infused car soap), make for a quality chemical exfoliation process.\u00a0 I usually wrap up those details with something like Gyeon Prep<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For projects like the following I prefer to spray Gyeon Tar into a microfiber towel.\u00a0 I will often use a rinseless wash to wash away the tar remover.<\/p>\n

\"Tar<\/p>\n

Adhesive removal has been my most recent popular use.\u00a0 Removing dealership decals that most people DO NOT want.\u00a0 The remaining adhesive can be safely removed with Gyeon Tar.<\/p>\n

\"Removing<\/p>\n

On this Porsche, the molding connecting the automotive glass was melting.\u00a0 I used Gyeon Tar to help clean this up.<\/p>\n
