I have been (attempting) to use Body Solvent for the last few months and am on the verge of giving up. I have been applying it to areas of the car that have road tar on them as per the directions and it seems to have NO affect. I have even tried multiple applications to the same area with no improvement. Any ideas?

I spoke with one of the guys in charge of developing this product and he told me that being a VOC compliant product, this product needs to really dwell on the substance. In fact, the longer the dwell time, the more effective the product will be.Originally posted by scrub

Re: Body Solvent
We go through a gallon every 3-4 weeks. It works great if used properly. The only thing I would change is the smell. It smells good, too good. I think one may not be careful with it because it doesn’t smell dangerous.Originally posted by SpoiledMan

This solvent doesn't evaporate quick like other solvents do. Spray it on agitate and spray alittle more on and let it dwell.Comment

Hey Scrub,
I have to agree with Joe. I have found that the product works well for me, as long as I leave it dwell long enough. The hard part is letting it sit as I am used to using strong solvents which you do not want to leave sit on the paint for very long!
Cheers!

I guess I will have to give it yet another try and see what happens. I see that you guys have been letting it dwell for a longer period of time than the instructions recommend to get it to work.Quadruple Honda Owner

Thanks for the followup. I will give it another try using the tips you suggested. I was using the product as a spray and wipe with less than a minute of dwell. What would you recommend as a good dwell time 2-3 minutes or more like 5-7 minutes. I usually start with bugs/ tar removal first then wash (unless job has a carpet cleaning). What do you work on while waiting. I would change my procedure.
Thanks!Comment

Tried this stuff again today. After letting dwell for several minutes (maybe just a couple since I'm very impatient) I did notice better results. The solvent wouldn't touch really caked on bugs with out some extra scrubbing. I will let the product sit on longer next time. I think this product has potential.Comment

Re: Body Solvent
Hmm, I haven't used my Body Solvent yet, but I remember the Gold Class Bug and Tar Remover took off a 2 year old caked on piece of tar after sitting for maybe a minute....
