Sir, this is one of the best tar removal videos on KZbin. The only other thing to test is how these products affect plastic and trim. Jon at Forensic Detailing grabbed a sheet of polycarbonate to test on and it was very helpful. Thank you

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you very much! That is a great idea as well.

[@thenebularity]

You're absolutely a godsend dude, your video's are very informative and educational. I've recently just started appreciating and taking an interest in cars and It's nice to know which products and methods I should be using. Looking forward to learning more from the channel!

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you for the compliment! Happy New Year!

[@trentthompson2928]

I just bought the RainX Bug & Tar sprayer today, after watching your video last week. It is amazing on the tar!!! Now for the bonus. My car looks dirty but you can slide your hand over it and it is clean, I was planning on using a compound. BUT the RainX sprayer removes the dirt that was under the wax , or whatever was holding the dirt! Going to use on my entire car! Thanks Again!!!

[@OwenLucas]

Awesome!

[@Chefboiali.]

I'm so glad I found this. My Honda Civic lost it's plastic liners YEARS ago and after prepping the engine bay for paint, decided it was best to hit the wheel wells. Your test showed that sometimes, brand names can get over saturated and forget that they shouldn't just attach their name to inferior products. Mothers has great products, so I was surprised to see how their tar removed basically did very little! I'll be going with the Stoner brand. I'm hoping I have the same success. Thanks again! **Edit** Grabbed my Goo Gone that I forgot I had and sprayed it. Had the same results! Goo Gone came through and smells amazing!

[@OwenLucas]

Goo Gone is a great product!

[@alexralston826]

Love the test. Comprehensive, balanced and consistent testing between products. Quick - no padding. So helpful. Great to see the before and after together. Very Impressive. Being lazy, I want one product for Tar and Bugs. I watched your comparison of Bug removers as well and settled on the Turtle Wax product to do both jobs well.

[@trentthompson2928]

THANK YOU!!! Straight forward and honest reviews. I’m going to try the RainX. I’ll let you know how it goes, guessing very well.

[@OwenLucas]

RainX will work well, especially if you soak the surface of the bugs pretty well. You can even overlay a paper towel on top of the soaked bugs to keep the spray from running down, allowing it to fully soak into the bugs.

[@atmoore74]

Outstanding visuals. Thank you. Definitely helps me make informed decisions at the auto parts store from now on!!!

[@dariusshojaei5036]

I was using Stoner Car Care on a project, and loved it. Ran out, and replaced it with the Mothers brand. Wow, what a difference, the mothers was almost useless compared. I had to return it.

[@OwenLucas]

I think Stoners is basically relabeled brake-clean, which is super powerful when it comes to diluting petroleum based chemicals.

[@GanNing221]

Thank you for showcasing the effectiveness of these products!

[@biofractal78]

I think I have a new favorite channel. One of my favorites used to be Project farm....

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you!

[@Maybetowin]

Great test! Thoughtfully and carefully done. Thank you! New subscriber.

[@brownieinusa1646]

Love this. Thanx Dude. Very well montaged video. Professionally done critic.

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you for the compliment!

[@torreyintahoe]

Citrol works very well on tar.

[@josemadrazo3131]

Thank you for this amazing video!!

[@njav21]

Just what I needed! Thank you!

[@OwenLucas]

You're so welcome!

[@Automotive_Widget]

The best bug remover and the best tar remover is a wet dryer sheet. Lightly rub. I know for a fact it works because I have used it on my 2014 white platuim ford escape. Simple and easy.

[@OwenLucas]

Great tip!

[@ginoarejola5165]

This is really helpful.❤ thank you

[@JoeFPSGamer]

Great test! Thank you!

[@frednachos]

Instantly subbed I love the easy to understand get right to it style

[@OwenLucas]

Thank you very much!

[@hydewizard]

Next: the best wheel cleaner please 🙏🏼

[@Alkatraz415]

Griots has a tar remover. Why didn't you use that product? I haven't used it or the bug remover. I use Citrol.

[@hammertimee777]

While it is important to observe the cleaning abilities of bug and tar remover, one must keep in mind that the stronger the cleaning ability, the more likely it is to remove wax and paint protection. The less powerful cleaners are designed to preserve wax and protection.

[@OwenLucas]

Great point!

[@ghazisaeed2739]

what do i use if i dont want to damage it?

[@hammertimee777]

@@ghazisaeed2739 Almost all waxes and sealants would get removed immediately after two applications of bug and tar remover. However, if if you use a ceramic coating, it could withstand to repeated bug and tar remover use with no degradation.

[@marambula]

great test.

[@OwenLucas]

Glad you liked it!

[@vernonpaigejr.1517]

thanks

[@OwenLucas]

You're welcome!

[@kyfisher3662]

will the turtle wax bug and tar remover allso remove my wax or ceramic coating? shoul di re ply it after use?

[@OwenLucas]

That’s a good question, I don’t recall seeing any notes on the bottle about that, but it wouldn’t hurt to reapply wax to the spot you used the tar remover on.

[@2502860]

Which product doesn't damage clearcoat

[@OwenLucas]

They are all clear coat safe. 👍

[@simonmiller7588]

Best thing for tar is wd40 or baby oil

[@thelostsaint1176]

Can i use wd40 on car or not? Does it damage the paint

[@OwenLucas]

I wouldn't risk it.

[@arkrainflood]

what about isopropyl alcohol?

[@OwenLucas]

That would be interesting to try!

[@judithdransfield9278]

Tar removal from pvc

[@judj23]

Why do you guys accumulate bugs on your cars?

[@OwenLucas]

Driving on the highway during certain seasons and times, like spring and fall in the morning and night, that's when the most bugs are out. On highway speeds, these bugs accumulate on the front of your car. When baked in the sun, they are really hard to remove so chemicals are needed to loosen them.

[@vernonpaigejr.1517]

bugs commit suicide when they see your car driving at 70 mph.

[@MrRomero.A]

Turtle wax must have paid you because I used it today and didn’t work

[@OwenLucas]

I didn't get paid by anyone, its like a $5 product. You should try Goo Gone or applying whatever cleaner you have to a paper towel and leaving it on the tar for a while to soak in.

[@TM-tz9rr]

Cold patch is not real tar, you want real tar throw some boiling shit I’m at it

[@OwenLucas]

Now there’s a KZbin video! 😂
