Alpha Tar & Glue Remover is a powerful solvent-based formula engineered to break down the most stubborn residues found on exterior vehicle surfaces. From tar spots and adhesive residue to tree sap and bird deposits, this product dissolves contamination quickly and safely when used as directed. Ideal for wheels, lower body panels, bumpers and any high-impact areas exposed to road grime.
The fast-acting hydrocarbon blend lifts away bonded contaminants that traditional washing cannot remove, making it an essential product for deep cleaning, decontamination and pre-polishing preparation. While highly effective, it should not be used on solvent-sensitive surfaces, and testing on an inconspicuous area is recommended if unsure.
