    Re: Body Solvent

    Body Solvent works great.

    I found that the key is to let it sit and dwell on the surface for a little while for it to work best. I usually leave it sit on the vehicle for at least 5 to 10 minutes to give it time to work and break down the road tar.

    It's a great product though, and smells good too.

    I'd be interested to hear more reviews on this, anyone? Do you like another product better?

    Body Solvent is great as long as you give it plenty of time to dwell as Mister B said. Spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes and wipe off. Easy right!

    As all the others have said: Meguiar's Body Solvent MUST dwell on the problem spots before it does it's magic. If in a rush, I use Stoners Tarminator. I like BOTH products.

    can you apply body solvent on an area, and then rinse off ?

    I like Body Solvent a lot. The key is to let it dwell on whatever your are trying to remove. I have used it to loosen up adhesive, stickkers, tar, bugs and tree sap.

















    Hope this helps.

    So Tuck, do you find it rinses off well? Or are you wiping it off? It seems to be a lot like spraying on WD40! Tough to get off for me. Once I used Body Solvent, wiped it off. Tried to clay bar some remaining bug guts with a clay sponge and the Body Solvent disolved the clay sponge into a black smear on the paint! Weird.

    Body solvent is slightly oily so rinsing only will not remove it all. You need to wipe it off. I always wash the vehicle after I use it to make sure I remove it all.
