We've all seen and dreaded the road
sign which proclaims 'Fresh tar (or
oil) on Road' and later seen the mess
it made on the underside of the car.
The condition of our roads is not good
and we'll probably see more of those
wonderful road signs.
How do we get that messy stuff off
the car? They have cleaners you can
buy at auto parts stores but they don't
really make the job any easier. What I
suggest is to buy a small container (1
gallon or less) of kerosene. Pour some
on a rag, make yourself comfortable and

start rubbing. The kerosene will
dissolve the oil or tar but it is
slow work . . . especially if you
have allowed the tar to lay there
and harden. The sooner you attack
it, the easier it comes off. As
the tar is removed, wipe each spot
with a clean rag. Some residue
will remain but the detergent you
use for washing will usually get it
off. Do the same on the chrome and
then clean it with chrome polish.
You can use the same polish on
stainless steel metal.
