asphalt on paint

El_Presidente_Pufferfish · 06-30-2006, 02:32 PM

accidentally drove up on my driveway while it was being worked on( nobody saw fit to tell me or put up cones or anything ) and now theres some of it stuck to my car by the wheels. Any way to get it off, or am I screwed?

It should power-wash/scrub off.

also, my friend said it was bad for my tires? Any truth to that because I have to drive to chicago tonight :0

It shouldn't be too bad for the tires. Go to an auto parts store, they have stuff specifically for removing tar and road grime from paint, and it does work.

Or if your willing to risk it, denatured alcohol should do a decent job removing fresh, small amounts of tar.

Um, go wash that shit off NOW before it dries. But it probably already has. Common sense, boy.
