Description

Overview

GRL Tar Remover breaks down tar, wax and greasy residue on painted panels and polished metal, so cleanup starts faster and takes less scrubbing. It suits trucks, cars, caravans, motorcycles and workshop jobs where road film, bitumen spots and oily build-up cling hard to the surface. Because the solvent action works quickly, you can target stubborn contamination before a full wash or use it as a direct cleaner on affected areas.

This product also helps on tools, service parts and workshop equipment where grease and waxy residue need to come away cleanly. As a result, one cleaner can cover both vehicle presentation work and everyday maintenance cleanup.

Features

• Fast acting solvent cleaner for tar, wax and grease
• Safe on paintwork and polished metals when used as directed
• Apply by spray or brush, then wipe or rinse clean
• Available in 250ml, 1L, 5L and 20L sizes

Specifications and Materials

GRL Tar Remover is a solvent based tar and wax degreaser made for heavy residue removal. It works undiluted, carries a red appearance and has a flash point of 38°C. That means it needs sensible storage and handling in the workshop, especially around heat and ignition sources.

Apply it to a dry surface and keep the area wet while it works into the contamination. Then wipe it away with a cloth or rinse it off with a hose or pressure cleaner. You can also use a solvent resistant trigger or pump sprayer when you need broader, more even coverage across panels or equipment.

Compatibility and Fitment

Use this cleaner on cool surfaces and spot test first if you are working on a sensitive finish. It suits paintwork and polished metals, and it targets tar, wax, grease, chain lube and oily road build-up. If you are cleaning a heavily affected area, apply enough product to keep the residue wet while it softens.

Compliance and Safety

Do not use it in direct sunlight, on hot surfaces or near open flame. Instead, work in a ventilated area and wear suitable gloves and eye protection. Keep the container closed after use, because that helps control vapour and keeps the product ready for the next job.

Trailer Applications

Workshops use GRL Tar Remover on trailers, prime movers and service vehicles when standard wash products leave behind tar spots, greasy film or waxy residue. It also suits mudguards, chassis areas, polished metal trims and workshop gear that pick up heavy grime during transport or repair work. When fleets need a targeted cleaner before washing or detailing, this product gives them a direct way to loosen contamination and move the job along faster.
