BLACKvoodoo Posted August 24, 2012 Share 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 .Yea my problem is I have a matt lacquer on my bike.... so some times you need some creamy peanut butter : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACKvoodoo Posted August 24, 2012 Share +1 You get bespoke tar removers too - I think mine is a McGuires product. Worked like a charm when I had tar all over my bonnet!Tar on your bonnet? Keep the wheel side down man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted August 24, 2012 Share Should work. Acetone dissolves butyl and asphalt quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some members on here will **** their best panties to have to do the smallest bit of road on their precious MTBs :thumbup: I can literally get to the trail from my place using just 50m of tar but I find it best to carry my bike to the dirt.

davidlangebaan Posted August 25, 2012 Share Tip I got from a panelbeater to get tar off my car: Use an old orange bag (the net kind). With a little soapy water it removes it choppers and doesn't damage the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
