Default Tar spots

My motor is covered in them, the last time I used alot of elbow grease and t-cut to get rid of them there must be an easier way?

in the trade we use tar and glue remover this gets them off with no effort at all . you can get this from any trade type place thats sells polish etc or white spirt works well without harming the paint but remember it will remove your wax

As above, use a clay bar. I recently did my FRS with one and its a damn site easier than using tar remover.

Where can you buy autosmart products? I thought it was trade only?

first wash the car normally

then apply a tar remover solvent - u can use white spirit. Leave a few mins then rub with a soft cloth. Then you can use a clay bar for the rest. Polish, then wax
