A tar and glue remover is a specialised cleaning product designed to effectively dissolve and eliminate tar, glue residue, tree sap, and other sticky substances from surfaces, particularly on vehicles. These removers typically use solvent-based formulations, which may include petroleum distillates or citrus-derived compounds, to penetrate and break down harsh contaminants without harming the underlying materials.

These products are usually available in convenient spray bottles for easy application or in pourable formats for more precise treatment of affected areas. They work by loosening the bond of stuck residues, making it simpler to wipe them away with minimal effort and reduced risk of surface damage. Importantly, they are engineered to be safe for various paint finishes, including clear coats and sensitive surfaces, ensuring effective cleaning while preserving the vehicle's aesthetic quality.
