Things You'll Need:
- Kerosene
- Peanut butter
- Shampoo or dish soap
- Eucalyptus oil
-
Step 1
Use diesel fuel. Although it may be a little smelly, diesel fuel removes tar from a car without damaging the surface. Put on protective gloves and dip a rag into the diesel fuel. Wipe it on the spot and let it set for a minute. Wipe the tar and fuel off. If the tar isn't completely removed, apply again. Rinse well when done.
-
Step 2
Make a paste of baking soda. Apply the paste with a wet rag and rub. You'll remove the tar with the application of a little elbow grease.
-
Step 3
Apply some linseed oil. Tar remover can be made by putting a few drops directly on the tar and allowing it to set until the tar is soft and easy to remove.
-
Step 4
Check your laundry supplies. Pretreatment stain removal laundry products can be used to remove the tar from your car. Simply spray, wait and wipe. Of course, rinse thoroughly afterward.
-
Step 5
Put a dab of mayonnaise over the tar, or smear it over the area if it's large. Once the tar has been softened, it's easy to whisk away.
-
Step 1
Dab the tar on your clothes with kerosene. You need to test the fabric for color fastness first. Once the kerosene has removed the tar, wash immediately.
-
Step 2
Smear it with peanut butter. Use the smooth kind and not the crunchy. Smear the peanut butter on and wipe off the tar. Put a little shampoo or dish washing soap on the area, rub it in and wash.
-
Step 3
Smell wintry fresh and use a dab or two of eucalyptus oil on the spot. Dab it until the tar is gone. Put a little soap directly on the spot and wash.
