FAQ
Common questions about TARminate.
What does TARminate remove?
Road tar, asphalt spots, tree sap, badge adhesive residue, sticker glue, bug acid — essentially any sticky contamination bonded to your clear coat.
Is it safe on paint?
Yes — designed to dissolve contamination without dulling or scratching the clear coat. Wash the panel after to remove solvent residue.
Do I need it before applying ceramic wax?
If your paint has visible tar spots or adhesive residue, yes — decon before applying any ceramic coating.
How is it different from Violet Storm?
TARminate targets organic/adhesive contamination (tar, glue, sap). Violet Storm targets ferrous contamination (brake dust, fallout). Use both for full decon.
Can I use it on plastic trim?
Test on a small area first. Solvents can affect some plastics differently.
