Stjarnagloss Tjära Tar & Glue Remover is a powerful citrus-based tar remover designed to quickly dissolve tar spots, adhesive residue, glue contamination and stubborn road deposits while offering a far more pleasant user experience than traditional solvent cleaners.
Using natural orange oil as its active cleaning ingredient, Tjära combines impressive cleaning power with a fresh citrus fragrance that makes tar removal considerably less unpleasant. Whether you're tackling motorway tar spots, wheel weight adhesive, sticker residue or glue contamination, Tjära softens deposits quickly so they can be safely wiped away with minimal effort.
Unlike many aggressive tar removers, Tjära is designed for targeted spot treatment. A few sprays are often enough to remove contamination from an entire side of a vehicle, making it both highly effective and economical to use.

How To Use
- Ensure the vehicle is cool and out of direct sunlight.
- Locate the affected tar spots, glue residue or adhesive contamination.
- Spray Tjära directly onto the contamination or onto a clean microfibre cloth.
- Allow 10-15 seconds dwell time for light contamination or several minutes for stubborn deposits.
- Gently wipe away contamination using a soft microfibre cloth.
- Repeat if required for heavier deposits.
- Wash or rinse the treated area after use.
Top Tip: Rather than spraying large areas of the vehicle, focus only on visible contamination. A couple of sprays is often enough to treat an entire side of the car.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Tjära remove?
Tjära is designed to remove tar spots, glue residue, sticker adhesive, wheel weight residue and similar solvent-soluble contamination.
Can it be used before claying?
Yes. Removing tar contamination before claying helps improve results and reduces the risk of paint marring.
Does it smell like traditional tar removers?

Can it remove sticker residue?
Yes. Tjära is highly effective at breaking down adhesive residue left behind by stickers, badges and wheel weights.
Can I use Tjära on vinyl wraps?
Yes. For wrapped vehicles we recommend spraying the product onto a microfibre cloth first before spot treating the affected area. This helps prevent excess product reaching wrap edges or adhesive layers.
Can Tjära be used as a tyre cleaner?
Yes, although it should always be rinsed thoroughly after use to prevent the product drying out the tyre sidewall.

Provided the paint has fully cured, Tjära can generally be used safely. As with any solvent-based cleaner, always test on an inconspicuous area first.
