KOCHCHEMIE Tar & Road Fallout Remover 1 L — Solvent-Based Concentrate, Halogen-Free

KOCHCHEMIE Teerwäsche A is a solvent-based cleaner that dissolves tar, bitumen, tree sap, stickers and stubborn road fallout from solvent-resistant vehicle surfaces.

Designed for automotive professionals and detailing enthusiasts, this 1‑liter concentrate removes sticky contaminants that ordinary soaps cannot shift. The formula avoids halogenated hydrocarbons and NTA, making it a targeted solvent solution for paintwork, chrome, plastics and workshop equipment where solvent use is appropriate. Use it before polishing or coating to ensure contaminant-free surfaces for better adhesion and finish.

How does Teerwäsche A remove tar and sap without harming trim?

The product uses solvent action to break down hydrocarbons in tar and tree sap while being formulated for compatibility with many automotive plastics and paint systems. It should be tested in an inconspicuous area first and applied to solvent-resistant surfaces only.

• Solvent blend dissolves sticky residues quickly.
• Safe on many interior and exterior plastics when used sparingly.
• Rinse or wipe thoroughly after contact to prevent solvent dwell time.
• Not for use on soft or solvent-sensitive materials without testing.

When and where should I use this tar and bitumen remover?

Apply Teerwäsche A when you encounter tar spots, glue from decals, insect residue, or clustered highway fallout that resists water-based detergents. It works on cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and in workshop environments where solvent cleaning is required.

• Pre-wash for heavy tar areas before full detailing.
• Spot-cleaning wheel arches, bumpers and lower body panels.
• Removing sticker adhesive from glass and bodywork.
• Cleaning solvent-resistant machinery, carwash brushes and floors.

How do I apply Teerwäsche A safely for best results?

Apply a small amount to a clean microfiber or spray lightly onto the affected area, allow a short dwell time for dissolution, then agitate gently and rinse or wipe away. Always follow safety guidance for solvents—work in ventilated areas and wear suitable gloves.

• Test on an inconspicuous spot first for material compatibility.
• Use concentrated on tough spots or dilute for lighter residues.
• Wipe with microfiber and rinse thoroughly afterward.
• Avoid extended contact on soft plastics, matte paints, and decals.

Will this product interfere with paint protection or coatings?

Properly rinsed, Teerwäsche A removes contaminants prior to polishing or coating and can improve adhesion by delivering a clean substrate. However, avoid leaving solvent residues and reapply protection products after cleaning to restore hydrophobic or sacrificial layers.

• Use as a preparatory cleaner before paint correction or sealants.
• Do not use as a final protective layer—reapply wax or coating afterward.
• Rinse well to ensure no solvent remains on the surface.
• Compatible with most coatings when used as directed and fully removed.

Who is this for? Detailers, bodyshops, fleet maintenance teams and serious car-care hobbyists who need a powerful, solvent-based specialist for sticky, hydrocarbon-based contaminants will benefit most from KOCHCHEMIE Teerwäsche A. It suits anyone working on solvent-resistant vehicle surfaces, carwash equipment or industrial machinery that requires targeted removal of tar, bitumen and adhesive residues. If you handle delicate trims, matte finishes or unknown materials regularly, plan a compatibility test or consult a technical datasheet before use.
