Maintenance: Bitumen/Tar Stains

[Daniel Lee]

For your information, all Hyundai Coupes come without mudguard for the rear wheels.
The areas on the Coupe rear bumper nearing the rear wheel are prone to get bitumen/tar stains.
Some other areas that prone to get bitumen/tar stains on Coupe are the front bumper, front hood nearing the Hyundai emblem and also under the doors.

My question is:
What are the steps taken by you to remove those bitumen/tar stains on your Coupe?

 

[Ace]

RP7 or WD40 the best.. or one step further. You can buy those tar stain remover. But right after this step you must wax your car immediately

 

[Daniel Lee]

Ace, just spray the WD40 direct on the stains?
Will it harm the paint?

 

[Ace]

no...It won't. Just do it before you wash your car with shampoo. Right after that, wax it.

 

[Daniel Lee]

Ok. Thanks, Ace!

[Daniel Lee]

BS, that means you had the product but you haven't try it?

 

[BlackSamurai]

yep, WD40 can remove the tar stains, I try before.
Last time I sale chemical, I have 1 product similar to WD40, my supplier told me that can remove the tar stains, it will dry very fast if the car is hot in the afternoon, u can spry some water to ur car first to make it wet & cool than spry the WD40 on it, u can see most of the stains is coming out, some too big stains will still need hand to wipe it, I will say 98% clean.

daniel, me small fly in IT, that's why need to work so late. Haha.

PS: I'm still in office, just finish work.

 

[Yu911]

small fly? I don't think so, if small fly then fly home lah, only very big fly will stay late in off.:shades_smile:

 

[Daniel Lee]

Big or small fly also never mind la.
This shows that BS very hardworking. hahahahaha..........

Yu, didn't go to bed the whole morning?

 

[Yu911]

Doing some art work yesterday for today urgent printing, wana get up at 9:00am but only at 10:30am emmm..... tomorrow must have kau kau sleep......:X-:
Daniel, have u try to remove the stain with WD40?

 

[Daniel Lee]

Yu, yupe, tried it out already.
It really works. :)
But I'm afraid that it will fade my car paint as side effect.

 

[BlackSamurai]

dual colour tone enough to kill me liao.

 

[Yu911]

Me too afraid so I spry water first than WD40, the stain & the WD40 will drop of faster with water, it will not dry fast. Any way, my supplier said is ok, no problem with the paint.

 

[Daniel Lee]

BS, dual tone just like those VIP cars like Cefiro Brougham and Merc.
Quite nice what.......hahahaha.....jk..jk...

Yu, since you and Ace confirm won't affect the paint, then I'm not so worried anymore.
