Default Oops, ordered wrong product

So as i continue down this rabbit hole of paint correcting and ceramic coating my car i now have tons of boxes with tons of tools and products in them. I forgot i recently had another order come in that my wife opened and my daughter played with, and when i looked at what was there i found a product that i didn’t think i ordered. Carpro tri-x. What I meant to order was capro multi x, tarx and ironx. What i ended up with was trix, ironx and no tarx. Does anyone know if the trix is good enough to where i don’t need to bother ordering the tarx? Most of our roads down here and concrete so i don’t think the car is going to have much tar on it but who knows. Thoughts?

I suspect if you don’t see goobs of tree sap and tar on the panels, you will be good. A few months ago I used Tar-X on the non coated car, and it was overkill for the minuscule amounts of tar and sap spots I actually had. I suspect I could have done a few spot treatments either Citrol and achieved the same results.
