of my CCW's..

Is it safe to use a product called Prestone bag and tar remover...

Doesnt have much info re chemical makeup other than saying it contains kerosene.

It does say its safe to use on paint, chrome, headlights, grills etc etc..

I could spot test but I'd rather ask here first

This tar you speak of, is it on both the front & rear barrels or just the rears?

Outlawtorn

Just lil speaks on the rear barrels but my rear CCW 505's have very visible rear barrels.

I heard that stuff will eat into metals, softening aluminum until it melts like a snowman in July. Or December, down below the equator.

Outlawtorn,
I was wanting to make sure that what you were seeing wasn't black poly grease from nicked rubber boots on the rear differential axles.

If it is indeed tar, the product you mentioned should be great to use.

Thanks...Its definately tar...We had bad earthquakes here a few years back and there is lots of road repair here...I mostly can avoid the roads under repair it but I got the odd spec here and there.

Thanks for your input

i had this on my factory chromes. i used WD 40 and it worked great. sprayed it on and let it set a couple minutes and began to "melt" away. some spots were more stubborn than others but they did come off. hope this helps

Try denatured alcohol it dissipates very quickly and will only harm water based products.
