Removing TAR from frame ?

[SaddleSore]

Good day,

 

I am looking for some advice on how to remove TAR from the frame of my bike (ALLU)

I have tried a few solvents with "no success whatsoever"

Products I have tried to date

1. Tar and Bug remover

2. Tar remover

3. WD-40

Using the recommended advice on these products and what i have read on the internet all have failed.

 

The Tar was picked up this weekend at Suikerbosrand on a ride Sunday.

It is very fine and spread all over the frame also very hard and not at all "tacky".

 

I am considering trying other substance like Kerosene, Diesel etc on small areas but am somewhat concerned

about the paint job and decals.

 

So any advice from people who have had a similar issue and have solved this problem would be greatly appreciated

 

Regards

Wd40 and some wet wipes.

 

Leave d40 on for around 30 seconds and wipe off with wet wipe

I find Paraffin works well and does not damage paint.

Paraffin Works a real treat we use it on our cars and bakkies at work put on a clean cloth and dab it on and wipe away just keep it away from stickers and decals as it will start removing colour

Use Brylcreem

 

For those with short memories.
