FAQ

Tardex is a premium, plant-based tar, asphalt, and adhesive remover engineered to safely dissolve heavy road grime without harsh, petroleum-based solvents. Formulated with slow-evaporating, non-flammable organic solvents, Tardex softens and lifts hardened road tar, tree sap, graffiti, paint overspray, and stubborn adhesive residues while remaining user-friendly and skin-safe.

Tardex works through targeted chemical breakdown:

1. Deep Penetration: Its slow-evaporating formula clings to contaminated surfaces, allowing active solvent molecules deep contact time to penetrate thick grime.

2. Solvent Dissolution: Breaks down complex hydrocarbon bonds found in hardened asphalt, road tar, tree sap, and commercial glues.

3. Easy Wipe-Away: Converts tacky, sticky substances into a soft, emulsified gel that wipes clean with a microfiber cloth without requiring aggressive scrubbing.

Tardex Solutions is formulated to eliminate a wide range of tough sticky and oil-based residues, including:

• Heavy road tar, asphalt, and bitumen

• Fresh and dried tree sap

• Commercial adhesive, sticker, tape, and decal glue residue

• Paint overspray, scuffs, and light graffiti

• Grease, oil, and road film build-up

Yes. Unlike harsh, aggressive mineral spirits or acetone-based solvents that can strip or cloud finishes, Tardex is formulated to be non-damaging to automotive clear coats, painted metals, chrome, glass, and hard plastic trims when used as directed.

• Apply Directly: Spray or apply Tardex directly onto the dry, contaminated surface (tar, adhesive, or sap).

• Allow Dwell Time: Let the solution dwell for 1 to 3 minutes so the plant-based solvents can soften the bonded residue.

• Wipe Clean: Gently wipe away the dissolved residue using a clean microfiber towel or sponge.

• Rinse: Rinse the area with water or wash with an all-purpose cleaner (like All Clean) to leave a spot-free surface.

Fast-evaporating solvents dry out before they can fully break down thick tar or heavy adhesive bonds, requiring multiple applications and harsh scrubbing. Tardex's slow-evaporating, plant-based formula stays active on the surface longer, doing the heavy chemical work for you so you can wipe it away effortlessly.
