Pretty much every department store or auto store will have it. It's cheap, and it works. I had weird gunk on my car last summer that nothing even touched, until I tried bug and tar remover. It works miracles. _____________________________ 2006 I4 5 speed (in reply to RondaTheHonda) Post #: 2

The tar remover will take off every bit of wax so make sure that you seal or wax once the tar is gone. _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 6

You will recieve any many responses as there are waxes. Any tar remover will strip EVERYTHING off of the paint so it must be protected afterwards. Check this thread for a super easy to use product with showcar results. Our administrator does use it on his showcar as do many peeps here on their daily driver......including yours truly. http://www.hondaaccordforum.com/Wet_Paint/m_17070/tm.htm < Message edited by RTexasF -- 3/15/2008 6:56:53 PM > _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to RondaTheHonda) Post #: 8
