I seem to have to use AG tar remover everytime I wash the car. Tons of tar gets stuck at the bottom of door and part of the rear bumper. I have never had a car with that much tar sticking on it, or do I just take care of the A3 much more!!!??
The A3 just seems to attract tar!!?? Do you notice this on your lighter colours?

You need to get some megs wheel brightner for the wheels and perhaps a clay bay, then give them a good coat of poorboys wheel sealent. Make sure you give the lower part of the car a good coating of wax too, it won't stop the tar but it will make it easier to remove. I get most of my stuff from polished bliss ( also a site sponser )

Got some wheel brightener so will try that. Got clay bar too. I got some collinite 476 a few months back could I apply this on the wheels?
The tar marks on the lower part of the car seem to have an almost "rusty effect" not black but brownish.

Yup.
Well I do, anyway!
(Actually, it's their 'marque d'elegance' I use now, but I used to use 476S)
Don't waste you money on tar-spot remover, BTW.
Their all petroleum distillate based.
In other words, petrol.
So either use some petrol or, believe it or not, WD40 sprayed onto a rag makes good tar spot remover.
You'll have to wash the car after, whatever you use.
Not sure if there is a direct link between the amount of rain we've had recently and tar but have driven on the same roads as I normally do, yet now lots of tar spots on the rear wheels?! Going to have to get the clay bar out
Come up to Scotland and the Salt/Grit on the roads in the winter - causes little orrange tar spot dots - they have to be picked off with a nail! HAHA
