Tar spots and bitumen can bond strongly to lower panels, wheel arches, side skirts and rear bumpers, especially on vehicles driven on freshly repaired roads or high-traffic areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTEA uses solvent-based cleaning chemistry to soften and dissolve these sticky contaminants so they can be removed with less mechanical effort. This is important because excessive rubbing can introduce scratches, particularly on softer paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeerwäsche A is suitable for solvent-resistant surfaces and can also be used in broader workshop environments where tar, bitumen or adhesive contamination needs to be removed. Because it is solvent-based, care should be taken around sensitive plastics, fresh paint, delicate trims and non-resistant surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a full exterior decontamination process, use Koch Chemie Reactive Rust Remover for iron contamination and Teerwäsche A for tar and bitumen. After decontamination, follow with Koch Chemie Finish Spray Exterior or a dedicated protection product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse tar remover before clay barring. Removing tar chemically first prevents sticky contamination from clogging your clay and reduces the risk of dragging tar across the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Teerwäsche A used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is used to remove tar, bitumen, adhesive residue and oily road contamination from solvent-resistant surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used on paint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be used on solvent-resistant automotive surfaces, but always test first and avoid delicate or freshly painted areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I use this before polishing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
