is goof off best for tar off vettes

I brake for nothing

Theres actually specific mild tar removers in the detail section of most auto shops but spray nine also works really well to melt off bugs and tar.

I usually just use a paint prep solvent, but I have it in the shop anyways for collision work. "Prep-sol" type of stuff, or 'DuPont First Klean-3900S".

There are a couple of different 'Goo Gone/Goof Off' type of solvents out there, some may be a bit more harsh than others. The citrus based ones may be better for the paint vs. the solvent based formula. Read the label carefully.

"DuPont First Klean-3900S" how do you use it wipe on fast,and wipe off, or let it set , and don't worry about it effecting the paint?,....thanks thanks

I just pour it onto a cloth/lint free type of towel, wipe it on, rub until the tar comes off. For real stubborn stuff I'll let the soaked rag sit on the area for a bit (like the adhesive left after peeling off factory emblems, that double sided tape residue is a P.I.T.A.) You can wipe the rest off with another dry cloth if you want.

This stuff isn't a real quick dry product, but will dry on its own with a little bit of time. Won't hurt clear coat though, which is the idea.

Lighter fluid. I've used Zippo and Rohnson(sp). Not sure about the BBQ lighter fluid if you have that laying around its worth a try.

Don't know about "best" but Turtle Wax Bug and Tar Remover works for me and you can get it at Walmart.
