Lexx Posted August 24, 2012 Share I hope someone can help me. Yesterday on my training ride, i went over a patch of tar, that was still wet, and the bottom of my frame and at the back is now full of this black sh@t. I tried washing it off with Clean Green and de-greaser, but it doesn't look like its working. Is there anything else that will take the tar off.

BLACKvoodoo Posted August 24, 2012 Share Apply some regular household items to the tar. These items include vegetable oil, creamy peanut butter, bath oil, and denatured alcohol.

BLACKvoodoo Posted August 24, 2012 Share I don't know dude brasso is abrasive, It will take paint off maybe not to base metal but paint will come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Posted August 24, 2012 Share I don't know dude brasso is abrasive, It will take paint off maybe not to base metal but paint will come off. I hear you , but its just to bring the shine back after use with turps , dont go rub the crap out of it because then it will rub it down. i have buffed many a bike to show room condition no problem . Try it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
