This Alpine White BMW X5 came in for an emergency Road Tar Removal. Every inch of the beautiful Alpine White paint was stained and cover in tar. The worst of the contamination was on the driver side of the vehicle and rear of the X5. After spending a few hours applying CarPro TarX multiple times the paint was finally ready to be washed.



Optimum Car Wash was used to pre-soak and wash the BMW X5 via a microfiber towel. After washing the paint CarPro IronX was applied to remove any rust blooms before applying Optimum Opti-Coat. After Applying CarPro IronX and CarPro TarX the paint was clayed using medium grade detailing clay. After spending the better part of the day decontaminating the X5 the paint was smooth as glass but still stained from the tar.



The Minor Paint Correction fully removed the worst of the tar stains on the Alpine White paint. Menzerna Final Finish was used on a white Lake Country buffing pad via a PCXP and Rupes 15 polisher. After spending numerous hours polishing the paint and glass received a IPA wipedown prior to applying Opti-Coat and Opti-Glass. This Alpine White BMW will be looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor for years to come thanks to Optimum’s paint and glass coatings.



For anyone who is looking for a great tar remover look no further than CarPro TarX.





Road Tar Removal



Tar and oils from a freshly paved road can stain a vehicle’s clear coat in a matter of hours. It’s important to remove the contamination using a dedicated tar remover such as TarX. TarX safely removes road tar from all exterior vehicle surfaces without the use of harsh chemicals. The longer the contamination is on the vehicle the harder it will be to remove and may even cause permanent damage.



 
Nice work Trevor. Car looks amazing! I see tons of tar stained vehicles in my area- usually speckles of tar across the whole vehicle! I've tried as many tar removers as you can think of and TarX seems to be the only one that truly works as well and as quickly as I want it too. Great work again!!

Thank you Johnathan. This was my first time using TarX and I was pleasantly surprised when the tar started melting away. The X5 required roughly 1.5 ounces of TarX to remove all of the road tar.
 
That's pretty great, I'm glad you liked it! 1.5 ounces is nothing and consider the time that could have taken without it! Great results again!

Whoops that was a big typo. I meant to say 1.5 liters or 50 ounces of TarX was used during the decontamination stage. TarX definitely earned a spot in my detailing arsenal.



Thank you.
