I wonder if members can give any guidance on how to remove black tar spots from the front of their vans?
Our van sustained quite an attack of these when travelling over a road being tarmaced in Portugal in the summer . The trouble is that it was very hot at the time and the marks seem very content to remain just where they are , despite my best efforts .

Right, well that is most helpful. The finish on our van is just silver not dimpled but I guess that does not change your advice . When you say polish /wax can you be a bit more specific? Our van is only two years old and looks pretty much as it left the factory but its had no polish just a good clean every now and again. Best Wishes

White spirit on a soft rag. You'll need to re-polish or re-wax afterwards.

Like Colin I also use Autoglym products on my smooth silver panelled Troll GT.

I use their black tar remover to get spots off, then use their Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner and then re-polish with their Super Resin polish. Once a year I polish and then use their Extra Gloss Protection polish that gives an extra film on top of the polish.

This gives it a magic shine. It is not cheap but I got some at a good price when I changed my car. MikeT
