About the product
4AUTOMOTIVE TAR-EX E is a solvent-based tar and bitumen remover for exterior car care. It dissolves road bitumen, tar splashes and greasy grime that stay on sills, lower doors, wheel arches and the rear bumper after a normal wash. The dissolved spots wipe off with a microfibre cloth — no hard scrubbing and no picking with a fingernail.
The formula is based on dearomatised C9–C11 hydrocarbons (less than 2 % aromatics) and 1-methoxy-2-propanol. The liquid is colourless. Made in Latvia by SIA “Politech”.
Available in three sizes: 1 L for home use, 5 L and 20 L for detailing studios, garages and car washes.
