Miracle in a bottle.
Awesome stuff. It works! Drove through an area where they were doing street paving. Had road tar on both sides of my car. Spray it on, wait a few minutes, rub it as necessary, and wipe it off. Might need to do it a few times, depending on how bad it is. It is a "messy" job. Definitely wear gloves (i used disposable hair-dye gloves) and lots of paper towels. Photos are 2 "befores" (one on each side of the car) and 2 "afters". I still have a little more to do, and finish the black plastic at the bottom.

New vs old
Had an old bottle of this (not sure how old) that has been working great all summer on my motorcycle and car. It finally ran out, so a I bought another and was shocked to find how poorly it preformed. What ever you did to change the formula go back!!!! I'll be buying another brand if you don't I guess.

    Does the job!
    Less expensive than WD-40, and works fantastically

    Works great!
    Easy to use, works great! Had some type of residue from trees on my car. Went through the car wash twice and rubbed and rubbed… it wouldn't budge. On a whim decided to try this product. Sprayed a good even coat on all the spots, let it sit 5 minutes (bottles says 1 but I was busy cleaning the rest of the car) used a microfiber cloth and with some elbow grease it came off! Will be adding this to my car cleaning regimen

    It was fine but I needed a replacement
    Product came wrecked at all and I needed a replacement. The whole product came on a bag and I couldn't use it. Delivery drivers don't knock the door so we don't realize if this was delivered or not

    Works Amazing!!
    I recently took a bit of a splash into some fresh oil as a result of road work and was very disappointed to see the splats and stains that would not budge with a simple car wash or scrub. With a bit of this stuff and some elbow grease, my whole car looked even better than before! Highly recommend, especially for the price too! Definitely look forward to trying more turtle wax products in the future!

    Pointless
    It was pointless, it sat for 15 minutes and did nothing to help get the bugs off.

    No good for Pine Tree sap removal
    I bought this one as some one in a Blog recommended this for removing Pine Tree sap from car but it did not work. I bought Goo Gone and tried it worked very well. If you are planning to remove Pine Tree sap then this won't work.

    Works Exceptionally Well! Minimal Scrubbing
    This works exceptionally well. I did two rounds for the after photo below. A small price to pay. I'm also very weak upper body, so I let it sit for about 5-10 each round, and used a yellow bug sponge (1.50 at Walmart) to wipe away. Very minimal scrubbing effort.

    Wow.. it works really well for Road Tar
    Unfortunately I ran through a lot of road tar on a super hot day in my brand new car. It nearly covered the entire front wheel well, down the entire side of the car and then a little on the rear hatch. It took a few applications and elbow grease, but it took it all off. So it's safe on black plastic body cladding.

    Grateful!!!
    I am absolutely GRATEFUL for this product. As a recent widow, car maintenance was always my husbands area. Seeing my paint & tires covered in caked on tar broke my heart & upset me. I went to the store in hopes of finding something that would help remedy this problem. Grabbed this bottle, read the label & thought "what the heck, it's worth a shot". My first trip to the store, I purchased 1 bottle. My second trip, I purchased 7 more bottles(everything the store had in stock). I think the outcome is evident in the pictures...no flashy words needed! This product produces EXACTLY what it claims & this automotive-challenged girl THANKS YOU for saving my vehicle!!

    Bugs be gone!
    My family and I had just taken our 2015 Honda Pilot Touring on a 1200 mile road trip and with it being the time of the year it is in Pennsylvania we get a lot of bugs, especially on the cars! I took a good look at it and noticed it was gonna need a little more than a scrub so, I had picked up some of this bug and tar remover. Let me tell you what this had worked like no other! I really liked that it sprayed on a nice thick layer and wasn't runny at all. I was so happy with the results and the super easy process. This blows any other brand out of the water. Once again an another amazing product from Turtlewax!

    Didn't work for me
    I brought it by reading reviews to remove some Tree sap on my car, but I tried hard, but it didn't work.
