Preparation "Tar and resin” of the Moje Auto line it is a strong agent that removes difficult dirt from tar, resin and asphalt - from glass surfaces and painted elements.

We clean it immediately after it gets dirty

It is best to remove any stains that appear on the car body immediately after they occur. Dried tar and resin will be particularly difficult to remove. They are perpetuated by high temperatures, so the risk of greater damage occurs in summer. The dirt "bites" into the paint, resulting in wrinkles and dulling of the color. Such a body does not look the best, and defects are difficult to hide. Therefore, it will be most effective to clean the bodywork immediately when we notice dirt, thus avoiding its penetration into the deeper layers of the paint. However, we do not always have special means to do this, and we do not always manage to spot the problem. In such cases, only a specialized cleaning agent designed to remove specific dirt, such as tar, resin and asphalt, can help. However, it is important that it is a preparation that does not discolor the color or damage the varnish.

Effective, safe and easy to use

When choosing a body cleaning agent, read its composition very carefully. A mild preparation will require strong scrubbing, which is harmful to paint coatings. Car bodywork is very delicate and sensitive to both weather conditions and cleaning agents. The Tar and Resin preparation from Moje Auto is characterized by an innovative formula based on aliphatic hydrocarbons. They have the ability to remove organic compounds that adhere very strongly to the body surface. This makes it very effective at removing all resin dirt, asphalt remnants and tar.

Due to the lack of cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the product is safe for health and can be used at home without any worries. Moreover, this formula protects delicate surfaces from damage. The easy-to-use atomizer ensures the comfort of work and efficiency of the product. It allows dosing of an agent that penetrates hard-to-reach places. Dirt is removed in just 5 minutes, and the effect is visible immediately after cleaning.

How to use tar and resin remover?

Removing tar and resin from the body using Tar and Resin from Moje Auto takes 4 simple steps. In addition to the above-mentioned agent, you will also need a soft cloth to remove excess preparation from the body surface. The whole thing shouldn't take you longer than 5 minutes.

Step 1: Start using the preparation by shaking the container so that the active substances contained in it are distributed evenly in the packaging.

Step 2: Then we start applying the preparation to the dirt, remembering to maintain the recommended distance of 20 cm. This is extremely important because it guarantees the highest effectiveness of the application and operation of the product. If the distance to the bodywork is too close, i.e. less than 10 cm, the pressure in the aerosol packaging may cause the preparation to be sprayed all over its surface. If the distance is too large - over 25 cm - we may not achieve a satisfactory effect because the product will not be dosed precisely.

It is important to remember that the product should not be applied to plastic elements. This may cause damage to the material, e.g. matting or discoloration.

Step 3: Leave the product on the cleaned surface for 1 minute so that the active substances contained in the product can react and dissolve the dirt. The preparation contains active substances whose task is to penetrate the dirt and dissolve it. We do not shorten the exposure time of the product on the cleaned surface! If we shorten the time of the preparation's action on the contamination, we may obtain an unsatisfactory effect and the dirt may not be completely removed.

Step 4: Then, after the recommended exposure time, thoroughly wipe the cleaned surface dry with a soft cloth.

Manufacturer's recommendations…

It is important to remember that tar stains should be removed systematically to prevent its accumulation. Then removal will be much easier and will not cause us any problems.
Please also remember that we only use dedicated products for such dirt. This will protect us from damaging the car paint.
However, if the tar has remained on our car body for a long time and has accumulated, remember not to extend the exposure time of the preparation, it may be dangerous for the car body. The above-mentioned activities should then be repeated several times to dissolve the tar stain in batches. Then the cleaning process will be safe for our car.
If tar or resin has touched aluminum rims, we can also safely use the Tar and Resin preparation from the Moje Auto line. It is safe for such a surface and will not damage it. However, it is worth remembering not to mix it with other preparations - so as not to damage the cleaned surface.
Do not use Tar and Resin on brake discs.
