How to remove the bitumen from the surface of the car

The most important advice: try to clean the bitumen soils quickly, until the resin has not frozen and has not penetrated into the layer of varnish and paint, otherwise there will be yellow spots. Also, do not try to scrape off the bitumen or cut it with a knife - so you risk even more damage to the appearance of the machine. Before removing the stain from the surface of the car, you need to make sure the coating is resistant to the chosen method, after trying it in some unobtrusive place. It is best to use special agents from bitumen stains, which are sold in the departments of automotive chemistry. They are usually produced in the form of aerosols and are quite effective, without leaving traces on the varnished and chrome surfaces. If you want the car to look like new, it is advisable to constantly carry such an aerosol in the trunk, as it is most effective for fresh spots. The most popular tools are: "Bituminous stain cleaner" of Russian production, "Super De-Greaser" (England), "Tar Remover" (Belgium). Universal solvents are also helpful: for example, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, white spirit, acetone. To obtain the optimal result, the agent will have to be applied repeatedly. Small bituminous stains can be tried out with butter or margarine. After treatment by any of these methods, the place where the stain was to be washed should be washed with a special car shampoo, as it should be wiped and polished.
