A solvent-based specialist cleaner built on C10–C13 hydrocarbons that chemically breaks down tar, bitumen, oil and grease residue — neat on a dry surface, 30 seconds to 3 minutes dwell time, then rinse off with a pressure washer. Carries Daimler approval and is free of halogenated hydrocarbons. Not suitable for rubber, EPDM seals, soft plastic trim or freshly sealed paint.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Teerwäsche A\u003c\/strong\u003e is a solvent-based tar and bitumen remover with Daimler approval that lifts stubborn road residue off solvent-resistant surfaces without ever touching the paint mechanically. The active blend — C10–C13 n-alkanes, isoalkanes and cycloalkanes with under 2 percent aromatics — chemically breaks apart the molecule chains in bitumen and tar. The residue runs off in streaks and you either steam it away with the pressure washer or wipe it off with a microfibre cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree of halogenated hydrocarbons, so it's a lot kinder to materials than the old-school tar removers people kept in jerry cans back in the 90s. Available in 1 litre, 10 litre and 20 litre — plus a 2-pack and 3-pack when you need more. Alongside the alkane blend the formula carries a share of 2-butoxyethanol as a coupling agent, which improves how it wets a glass-smooth panel and keeps it working even at cooler ambient temperatures. For indoor use, run ventilation above three air changes an hour, and eye protection is a must for any overhead work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical, not mechanical.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can't polish tar out — scrubbing drags the particles across the paint and leaves swirls behind. Teerwäsche A softens the bituminous residue within 30 to 180 seconds until it flows away or lifts off the cloth in one pass. The brush stays in the drawer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDaimler approval as a green light for pro use.\u003c\/strong\u003e Koch-Chemie works hand in hand with the car industry. The Daimler approval isn't a marketing sticker — it means the product is officially cleared for use on Daimler paints and underbody materials. For shops tied to a manufacturer, that's a practical argument.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree of halogenated hydrocarbons.\u003c\/strong\u003e Older tar removers often lean on trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene — both heavy on odour, a health concern, and barely approvable for pro use any more. Teerwäsche A works with a modern hydrocarbon blend that's workable in well-ventilated spaces from about 15 °C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teerwäsche A doesn't just break down tar — it strips the wax or sealant underneath along with it. That's the bit manufacturers and rivals rarely mention. If you do nothing after the tar comes off, you're left with unprotected paint that takes on fallout and water spots with no barrier. So always plan it in as the first step of a combo job: tar wash → normal wash with a pH-neutral shampoo → reseal with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-speedprotect-spruhversiegelung\"\u003espray sealant\u003c\/a\u003e or wax. For a spot job (the odd tar fleck on the sill) a quick detailer is enough as local protection. For a full exterior job including resealing, set aside about 45 minutes for a mid-size car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpray it on neat. Short dwell. Steam it off.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe application is kept deliberately simple. Lay Teerwäsche A on the dry, cold surface undiluted — either straight from the 1-litre bottle with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koch-chemie-teerwaesche-a-tea-bitumen-teerentferner?variant=54013040492879\"\u003eCanyon spray head CHS-3AN\u003c\/a\u003e or from a sturdy solvent-safe spray bottle. A wet surface dilutes the solvent and cuts the cleaning power right down — when washing, tar wash first, then shampoo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDwell time runs from 30 seconds to 3 minutes — depending on how thick the tar layer is. You can see when it's working: the tar dissolves into brownish-black streaks and runs down vertical surfaces. As soon as that happens, rinse straight off with a strong jet of water or wipe it away with a clean microfibre cloth. A 1000 ml bottle covers roughly 4 to 6 full vehicle sides with moderate tar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn bigger areas, don't let it dry — in direct sun or on hot paint above 25 °C the solvent flashes off too fast and leaves an oily film that only comes off at the next wash. For underbody or wheel-arch work on commercial vehicles, the 10 or 20 litre version is the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere you apply it over a wide area with a pump sprayer and then steam it off with the pressure washer at around 120 bar. On stubborn, dried-on bitumen spots after a drive through roadworks, a second application does more than a longer dwell on the first pass — the solvent is saturated after about 3 minutes and stops working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIt breaks down tar. And wax too.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTeerwäsche A attacks any organic coating sitting on the paint. That's how it works — and at the same time it's the one catch for anyone who reaches for it without a plan. Carnauba waxes, synthetic polymer-based sealants and most quick detailers dissolve away on contact with the hydrocarbon blend. That's no fault in the product either, it's chemistry: what breaks down bitumen breaks down wax too, because both are built on similar organic molecule structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the real world that means two things. First: every tar wash is followed by a full paint wash with a pH-neutral shampoo to neutralise the solvent residue. Second: the treated spot needs a fresh layer of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're only dealing with small flecks on the side sill, you can follow up with a spot wax or detailer. If you're cleaning whole panels or the underbody, build the reseal into the workflow as a fixed step. SiO₂-based ceramic coatings usually aren't fully wrecked after a tar-wash treatment, but they lose noticeable hydrophobicity — a topper or detailer brings them back up to level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Teerwäsche A isn't suited to: unpainted soft plastics, rubber seals and EPDM profiles. The solvent swells rubber over longer contact and can dull plastics. It mainly hits window seals, door rubbers and black plastic trim on older vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDon't spray it over those surfaces broadly — if overspray happens, rinse it off with water within 60 seconds. On fresh wraps and PPF (paint protection film), test first on a hidden spot. Plenty of PPF coatings handle short contact times under 30 seconds but react sensitively to longer exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen Teerwäsche A fits — and when it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTeerwäsche A is the right call when you're removing genuine road tar, bitumen spray after driving through roadworks, asphalt residue on wheel arches or dried-on oil films in the underbody area. It's also built for the regular cleaning of car-wash brushes and shop floors — wherever it's not paint cosmetics that's needed but real chemical solving power. In the spring season after winter it's standard for underbody prep, once tar-salt mixes have piled up over months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor insect residue, though, it's not the first choice. Insect proteins are organic but structured differently — enzymatic cleaners like the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/insektenentferner\"\u003einsect remover\u003c\/a\u003e work more precisely and more gently on paint there. If you've got both at once — tar on the sill, bugs on the front end — treat both areas separately with the product that fits each. Trying to solve everything with one all-rounder usually ends in more rework. Same goes for tree sap and adhesive residue: both dissolve with the tar wash, but a dedicated tree-sap remover works cleaner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for pack size, the 1-litre bottle suits the private user and the occasional detailer planning one go per vehicle. The 2-pack and 3-pack bring the price per litre down by roughly 5 to 15 percent — worth it if there are several vehicles in the household or you want the season's supply locked in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 and 20 litre drums are trade sizes for reconditioning, underbody cleaning or fleet work — here the outlay only pays off from regular weekly use. For precise single-spot application the 1-litre bottle with the Canyon spray head stays the most ergonomic solution. The spray head delivers a precise cone rather than a mist and doses right onto the problem spot without wetting more area than needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore Teerwäsche A frost-free at room temperature. Once opened, the bottle stays stable for about 24 months as long as the cap is closed tight after use — hydrocarbon solvents evaporate slowly otherwise and the concentration drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"care-guide\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eHow to use Koch-Chemie Teerwäsche A\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003col\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrep.\u003c\/strong\u003e Move the vehicle into the shade, paint temperature under 25 °C. Never use Teerwäsche A on heated surfaces or in direct sun — the solvent then flashes off too fast and leaves an oily film. Have gloves (nitrile-resistant) and safety glasses ready. Pick a well-ventilated area; for pro use, make sure of at least three air changes an hour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdentify the area.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tar and bitumen spots are typically found on the lower vehicle sections: side sills, wheel arches, bumpers, lower door edges. The affected area has to be dry — a wet surface dilutes the solvent and cuts the effect.

Spray from about 15 to 20 cm in an even film, without flooding the surface.

Stick to the 1–2 minute dwell time, then dab it off with a clean microfibre towel, don't wipe. If the resin is being stubborn, run it once more rather than leaning on it with pressure. After you're done, give the area a thorough wash with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gyoen-q2m-restartwash-dekontaminations-shampoo\"\u003eGYEON Q²M RestartWash\u003c\/a\u003e.\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy tar and resin are such a pain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTar spray off the road and tree sap have one thing in common: they're sticky, tough and cure under UV. Tar is a mix of aromatic hydrocarbons that go liquid in the heat and cling to painted surfaces. Tree sap carries terpenes and resin acids that cross-link under UV light and only get harder over time. Take them off mechanically without a proper solvent and you'll pull scratches for sure – the contamination is harder than the paint and acts like sandpaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right product breaks the contamination down chemically first, loosens its grip and only then lets you dab it away. GYEON Q²M Tar is built exactly for that – the solvent content gets under the tar or resin layer, breaks its bond to the paint and lets you lift it off gently, without a single scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStep by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive the car a normal wash before you reach for Q²M Tar, so you clear off any loose surface dirt. Leave the affected spot dry or lightly damp – whichever the product instructions call for. Spray Q²M Tar straight onto the contamination and let it dwell for one to two minutes. Dab it off with a clean, soft microfibre towel, don't rub – that way the dissolved contamination lifts into the towel instead of getting smeared across the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn stubborn leftovers, just run it again. Never lean on it with pressure – Q²M Tar is built so that patience and chemistry do the work, not muscle. When you're done, rinse the area well and wash it with a shampoo to clear off any last solvent residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere Q²M Tar sits in the decon process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a professional decon workflow Q²M Tar has a clear slot: it comes after the regular wash and the iron remover step, but it targets the organic contamination that iron remover doesn't touch.

Road tar and bitumen consist of complex organic macromolecules that form a physical bond with the paint surface upon impact – similar to an adhesive. This bond is strong enough to withstand manual washing, but not resistant to the right solvents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solvent mixture in SONAX PROFILINE TarRemover penetrates under the tar deposit by capillary action, forms a layer between the tar and the paint surface, and reduces the adhesion of the tar mass. At the same time, the solvent partially dissolves the polymer chains of the tar, making the deposit soft and thus allowing for residue-free wiping with minimal mechanical effort. The paint itself is not attacked when used correctly – the formulation is paint-compatible and does not attack clear coat or base coat pigments if the product is not left on for too long and is completely wiped off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor adhesive residues from stickers, foils or price tags, the principle of action is similar: adhesives are also solvent-sensitive polymers whose adhesion is broken down by the SONAX PROFILINE TarRemover solvent. Stubborn adhesive residues that remain on the paint surface after mechanical removal of stickers are completely eliminated by short exposure time and wiping. For very thick adhesive layers (e.g. from old foils), a second treatment may be necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication in the detailing workflow – step-by-step to blemish-free paintwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE TarRemover\u003c\/strong\u003e occupies a defined position in the professional detailing workflow: it is used after pre-cleaning (pressure washer, foam), but before the actual wash – in the so-called \"Decontamination Phase\" of paint preparation. In this phase, all contaminants that normal washing does not remove are eliminated: iron particles with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-flugrostentferner-kraftreiniger-sauer-eisenentferner\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE RustRemover\u003c\/a\u003e, tar and adhesive with the TarRemover, and tree resin also with the TarRemover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specific workflow: allow the vehicle to dry after pre-cleaning (or at least dab dry the areas to be treated). Spray TarRemover onto the tar spot – as targeted as possible to avoid wetting more paint than necessary. Let it work for 1–2 minutes (up to 3 minutes for thicker deposits). Wipe off with a fresh microfibre cloth without pressure in a wiping motion. If the spot is not yet completely dissolved, repeat the process. After complete removal, wipe the treated area with a damp cloth and remove the solvent film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common mistake is wiping too early: if there is not enough exposure time, you have to rub with pressure – which significantly increases the risk of scratches. A second common mistake is using the same cloth for several tar spots without changing the cloth side: the dissolved tar in the cloth is smeared back onto the paintwork during the next use. With sufficient fresh cloth segments and the correct exposure time, TarRemover is an efficient, scratch-free tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application – where TarRemover shows its strengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE TarRemover\u003c\/strong\u003e is relevant for several typical contamination scenarios in everyday vehicle detailing. The most common scenario is road tar contamination: especially after road construction work or on freshly tarred roads, bitumen droplets settle on the underside of the vehicle, on sills, lower edges and on the lower bodywork. Even a few days after impact, these tar splashes are dried on and firmly adhering. TarRemover dissolves them at all stages of development – from fresh to deposits that have been dried on for weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second main scenario is tree resin: vehicles parked under trees regularly collect resin drops on the roof, bonnet and boot lid. Tree resin is sticky and attracts dust and fine dust, which gets trapped in the resin – this makes the spots even darker and more stubborn over time. TarRemover effectively dissolves fresh and dried tree resin. Unlike tar, tree resin can often also be scraped off with a fingernail – the advantage of TarRemover is that it makes this mechanical action unnecessary and removes tree resin residues without the risk of scratching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third scenario is film and sticker adhesive residues: vehicles that carry advertising films, parking permits or stickers often leave adhesive residues on the paintwork when removed. With \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-stain-ex-klebstoffentferner-kleberentferner\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Stain Ex AdhesiveRemover\u003c\/a\u003e, there is a specialized product for particularly stubborn adhesives – but for the majority of standard adhesive residues in everyday detailing, TarRemover does a good job and saves a separate product grab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTarRemover in comparison – solvent-based vs. alternative removal methods\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the market for tar removers, there are basically two approaches: solvent-based products like \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE TarRemover\u003c\/strong\u003e and aqueous, surfactant-based alternatives. Aqueous tar removers work slower, need longer to act, and often require multiple treatment passes for thick tar deposits. For fresh, not yet fully cured tar, they are often sufficient – but for older, firmly dried bitumen spots, they reach their limits. The advantage of solvent-based products: faster action, more effective penetration of dried deposits, less mechanical effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother comparison concerns household remedies: cooking oil, butter or nail polish remover are occasionally recommended as \"tar removers\". Cooking oil can indeed loosen fresh tar – but it leaves a greasy film on the paintwork, which is difficult to remove and, if not completely removed, prevents the adhesion of sealants. Nail polish remover (acetone) is aggressive enough to dissolve tar, but it also attacks clear coats and is not suitable for regular use on vehicle paints. SONAX PROFILINE TarRemover is developed for paintwork, formulated to be paint-compatible and leaves no residues after correct wiping that would impair further detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen deciding between 300 ml and 5 litres, an assessment of your own consumption helps: an average vehicle with normal tar contamination requires 5–15 ml of TarRemover for a complete treatment. The 300 ml bottle can therefore treat approximately 20–60 vehicles, depending on the severity of the tar. For businesses that prepare used cars daily and regularly deal with heavy tar contamination, the 5-litre canister format pays for itself after a few weeks compared to repeatedly purchasing the 300 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy SONAX PROFILINE TarRemover – container size, application recommendation and combination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE TarRemover\u003c\/strong\u003e is available in two container sizes: a 300 ml spray bottle for targeted individual use and 5 litres for professional businesses. The 300 ml spray bottle is sufficient for treating tar on several vehicles and is ideal for mobile detailers or for occasional contamination in private use. The 5-litre canister is designed for stationary detailing businesses that regularly prepare used cars: used cars often have heavier tar contamination than well-maintained first-owner vehicles, and the more economical 5-litre canister makes its use profitable even for intensive tar treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs supplementary products for complete paint decontamination, Detailing1 recommends SONAX PROFILINE RustRemover for iron particle removal – both products together cover the complete chemical decontamination of the paintwork before polishing or sealing begins. Cleanly decontaminated paintwork shows better results when polished and absorbs sealants and ceramic coatings more evenly than paintwork with remaining contamination residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion: SONAX PROFILINE TarRemover is an indispensable tool in professional vehicle detailing – not for every vehicle in every detailing session, but for all cases where tar, bitumen, tree resin or adhesive residues are present on the paintwork. The formulation protects the paintwork, the two container sizes suit every application profile, and the product works effectively without mechanical effort.
