Driving on freshly paved roads, during hot weather, or near construction zones often results in sticky black spots adhering to your vehicle’s paint, wheels, and lower body panels. This residue is Tar (Asphalt), and attempting to scrub it off with standard washing methods can severely damage your clear coat.
At Royal Touch Car Wash, we offer a specialist Tar Removal Service. We use professional-grade chemical decontamination methods to safely dissolve and remove these stubborn, adhesive contaminants without harming your paint finish.
Our process relies on safe, chemical action to dissolve the contaminants, eliminating the need for abrasive scrubbing.
Preparation Wash: The vehicle receives a thorough hand wash to remove all loose dirt and debris, exposing the tar spots clearly.
Chemical Decontamination: A specialized, high-viscosity Tar Remover Solution is applied directly to the affected areas (typically the lower side panels, rocker panels, bumpers, and wheels). This professional chemical is designed to break down the complex hydrocarbons in the tar and road grime.
Dwell Time & Dissolving: We allow the chemical to dwell for the necessary time as it begins to chemically dissolve the tar spots. You will visibly see the tar begin to melt and run off the paint.
Gentle Wiping: Using soft, clean microfiber towels, we gently wipe the dissolved and softened tar from the surface. Because the chemical has done the heavy lifting, virtually no pressure is needed, ensuring a scratch-free removal.
Final Rinse & Neutralization: The entire vehicle is thoroughly rinsed to remove all chemical residue, neutralizing the surface and preparing it for the next step.
Surface Protection (Recommended): After tar removal, the paint is completely bare. We highly recommend following this service with the application of a Wax, Sealant, or Ceramic Coating to replenish the lost protection and shield the paint against future contamination.
Scratch-Free Method: We prioritize chemical decontamination over mechanical scrubbing to guarantee the integrity of your paintwork.
Targeted Cleaning: Our service focuses specifically on the most contaminated zones, ensuring a complete and thorough clean where it’s needed most.
Prepares for Protection: Essential preparation for any paint correction, polishing, or long-term ceramic coating application.
