Hi


You could try Solution Eco Spotter but I would have to suggest Chemspec's POG paint oil and grease remover

Best regards Nick

Hi Daniel,

White spirit is a good solvent for road tar just make sure you extract the solution well with your machine.

I would  use white spirit , prespray , extract in that order.

cheers,

Doug

James,

Any presparay will do , you are just emulsifying the white spirit /tar solution.

If you have detergent in your tank this will work without prespraying.

A lot of the products sold by suppliers will be white spirit or very similar sold under another name and costing ten times as much ;)

Others will be isopropanol etc

Cheers,

Doug

I agree with Doug...Had poor results with solval....A 40p bottle of white spirit is fantastic....but dont pour it on the carpet  :)
