Safely Remove Tar, Adhesive, Tree Sap & Road Paint

ESOTERIC Tar Remover is engineered to break down and dissolve stubborn tar, adhesive residue, tree sap, grease, and road paint overspray on painted surfaces and wheels. Its solvent-based formula penetrates contamination quickly, allowing it to be wiped away with minimal effort and without damaging surrounding finishes.

Whether you’re maintaining a daily driver or correcting heavily contaminated wheels and lower panels, Tar Remover provides a reliable, fast-acting solution that restores a clean, residue-free surface.

How It Performs

Tar and adhesive contamination can cling strongly to paint and wheel finishes, often resisting standard washing methods. ESOTERIC Tar Remover works by softening the bonded residue so it can be gently lifted away without aggressive scrubbing.

Its specialized solvent blend targets tar specks from road construction, tree sap from seasonal fallout, and adhesive residue from previous film installations or decals. The product flashes cleanly and is safe for automotive paintwork, clear coat, wheels, and trim when used as directed.

The result is an effortlessly clean surface that’s ready for a proper wash, polishing, or protection steps such as sealants, coatings, or waxes.

Directions

  1. Make sure the surface is cool to the touch
  2. Spray directly onto tar or adhesive residue
  3. Let dwell for 2–3 minutes
  4. Spray onto a microfiber towel, then lightly agitate the surface
  5. Wipe away any remaining residue with ESOTERIC Panel Prep Wipe
  6. Rinse thoroughly with water

Important: Always test on an inconspicuous area first. For coating compatibility, ensure coating instructions permit solvent-based cleaners.

Additional Information

Besides the chemistry, we spent months deliberating on exactly what bottles and sprayers we wanted to use. We sourced from around the world, landing on premium Italian sprayers and USA-made bottles that you see today. We could have gone with much cheaper plastics, but we wanted something that would be worthy of the ESOTERIC name.

When you finish the bottle, don’t throw it away. The quality of both the bottle and sprayer means that you can continually reuse them for a long time.
