What Does Tar & Glue Remover Do?

Tar and adhesive contamination builds up over time from:

  • Road tar
  • Old sticker residue
  • Tree sap
  • Fuel splashes
  • Traffic film buildup

These contaminants bond to your paint and cannot be removed with shampoo alone.


A proper tar remover for cars breaks these down chemically, allowing you to safely wipe them away.


Why Choose SD Collections Tar & Glue Remover?

✔ Fast Acting Formula

Breaks down tar and glue within minutes with no heavy scrubbing needed.


✔ Safe on Paintwork

Designed for use on ceramic coating, PPF, paint, and exterior surfaces when used correctly.


✔ Professional Grade Results

Used by detailers to achieve a fully decontaminated surface before polishing or coating.


✔ Multi-Surface Use

Ideal for:

  • Lower panels
  • Wheels
  • Behind badges
  • Door shuts


How to Remove Tar from Your Car (Step-by-Step)

  1. Wash the vehicle 
  2. Spray SD Collections Tar & Glue Remover onto affected areas
  3. Allow to sit for 1-3 minutes
  4. Wipe gently with a microfiber cloth
  5. Rinse or rewash the area

💡 Top tip: Always use on a cool surface and out of direct sunlight.


Why Tar Removal Is Essential Before Polishing or Coating

If you skip this step, you risk:

  • Dragging contaminants across paint, which can cause scratches
  • Poor bonding of ceramic coatings or wax
  • Reduced gloss and finish quality

Using a tar remover ensures your surface is properly prepped for:

  • Machine polishing
  • Ceramic coatings
  • Paint protection film (PPF)


Who Is This Product For?

This product is perfect for:

  • Car enthusiasts maintaining their vehicle
  • Detailers looking for reliable results
  • Anyone preparing a car for polishing or protection

Whether you’re doing a full detail or just tackling stubborn spots, this is a must have in your detailing kit.

Does a Brand New Car Really Need Paint Correction?

By Callum Foster • October 5, 2026
You've just collected a brand new car. The paint is shiny, there are only a handful of miles on the clock, and to most people it looks perfect. So why would a professional detailer want to machine polish it before applying ceramic coating or paint protection film? It's a question we're asked regularly at Spotless Detailing Group, and the simple answer is that brand new doesn't always mean defect free. Before a new vehicle reaches its owner, it has already been manufactured, transported, stored, handled and prepared. During that journey, minor imperfections can find their way into the paintwork. That's why preparation is such an important part of professionally protecting a new vehicle.
