Grieg, I have mudflaps all round and for some reason I do not get a single tar spot on the car, I do not think it is the flaps as they are really small as you know, I keep the car topped up with a regular coat of wax (more coats than is needed) I think (in my head) that this stops the tar sticking.
Friends Fiesta that used to get the same treatment as mine is absolutley covered in tar spots since he stopped cleaning regularly. Worth putting in the extra work for the extra protection.
Dude if you knew me well u would realise that this is not the case. I am a total clean freak with my car. I pre wash wash(double bucket and grit guard) double rinse, aqua blade, pre wax carnuba cleaner, 2 coats of ag resin, and 1 coat of megs wax. Chemical guys trim gel on all the trim, ag's glass cleaner then megs tyre dress on the tyres....every time...well most times. I did this 3 times this week and each time I do it I cry as I have to start the whole process with the tar remover, which also has the added bonus of stripping all the products off.
tell me you don't use and aqua blade... I;ll have words with you about that tomorrow....
aqua blade!!!!!
The Devils Tool, you're worried about tar spots I'd be crying at the scratches,
Maybe is the mudflaps that is saving mine then.
It was recommended to me. Been using it for a while with no adverse effects...so far.
