Review: CarPro Tar X

Gum Removal: Tar X - Tarminator - Tarmalade


Well, I was asked about Tar X ability to remove gum so I conducted a test.
I applied 2 pieces of gum to the hood of my car and allowed them to bake in the florida sun for a day before spreading them further and allowing them to bake another 4 days in the Florida August Sun. I parked the car at work in an area where it wouldn't receive any shade at any point of the day (except when clouds were overhead).

As I was about to conduct the actual removal test I realized I should have placed 3 pieces of gum since I wanted to test 3 products but hadn't considered all 3 products 5 days earlier. I attempted to split the second test spot which compromises the Tarminator testing a little.

Please see the pictures and video below. All of the video is included but much of it fast forwarded since it would be a very long video otherwise.

Hi guys, just wanted to give you a heads up. I allowed some TarX to start to dry on a headlight (which it specifically says not to do) and I got a white stain. I can polish it out no problem but just wanted to tell you guys to not allow the product to dry at all on plastics.

Great follow up Corey. It would seem that the Tarminator was the most effective at removing the gum?

Thanks Todd,
Well, unfortunately I botched the tarminator test by trying to split one of the test spots into two pieces. It did work very well on that edge area but I'm unhappy with my "botching"since we didn't get to see if the stoners would cut through the thick areas. Don't tell my car but I am going to have to put him through another gum test with a dedicated spot for the tarminator. Shhh ;)

Oh, btw.. I was able to remove that stain on the headlight without polishing
