5speedz34 Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well, since the W-body meet earlier this month I haven't truly had a chance to was my car. :shock: I know it's been like 3 weeks and my car never moved during the whole fuel line fiasco. So of course it collected some tar and gunk. I need to remove it, I just washed the car to get some of the easy stuff off but I don't want to rub to hard onto the paint. What's the best way to get rid of this stuff without wrecking or stripping my wax. I'm thinking goo-gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 i just used the bug and tar remover, it smells like WD-40 and is really oily, but it works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I use any type of Bug & Tar remover...but Tony, I don't know whether anything is going to preserve the wax on the car. If all you have on there is bugs I bought this cool sponge thing called a "Bug brush". It is a sponge that has netting on the outside of it. It was around $3 and it works awesome, especially if you soak the bugs before hand with water to loosen them some. As for tar, anything petroleum based will remove it, but it will probably remove your wax as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Wash. Dry. Clay Bar. Wash. Dry. Wax. Wax. Drive. But an easier way would be to get one of those sponges with the fishnets over it and try that to start with. Even the bug and tar remover, but I can't stand the overspray if it's a windy day.

5speedz34 Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I already Clay Barred the thing 3 weeks ago and completely polished and waxed it. I really just have a few sap spots. I need to get off. I have an idea now of what I need to do. I want to rewax my car, should I polish and wax or just wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I would say just wax. You don't want to polish too much, you will eventually hurt the paint, or at least the clear coat. I have honestly never used a "polish" on the car, I always just clay bar and wax, although I guess it would be a good idea to polish it every now and then huh....

The thing is when you clay bar you strip everything off the car including the wax. I just want to put something down over the current wax.

runt Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well...if your wanting to protect the current wax, I'd just go the spray on stuff from Wally World. Thats probably the easiest route to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
