Meguiar's Body Solvent



A body scrub to remove
tar, wax residues and road grime.

    Many of you reading this are looking for a tar/bug/tree sap/road grime remover that really works. You purchased a product at your local auto parts or department store and found it didn't work worth a darn. You also want a product that works instantly. (We Americans are increasingly impatient!) You want to spray a cleaner on the tar or tree sap and wipe it off. 

    Well folks, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the people we put in government to protect us are making that almost impossible. Both the Federal Government and the California Air Safety Board have set very strict limits for the amount of active ingredients that can be put into a cleaner. The category of ingredients that make these cleaners work are called VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds). The California Air Safety Board has set a very low limit for the amount of VOC's that can be put into a cleaner. We all want clean air, right? Unfortunately, when you drastically reduce the level of VOC's in a cleaner, you severely limit the product's cleaning power. So how's a person to remove tar, tree sap and bug residues?

    We have to learn a new way to remove these stains. We have to learn to be (shudder) patient. Body Solvent from Meguiar's is the first of a new generation of cleaners that are VOC compliant and work by soaking on the stain for 30 to 45 seconds. Body Solvent is ready-to-use. You can apply it with a cloth but I find it works better if you spray it directly on the tar or grime you are trying to remove. After spraying, wait 30 to 45 seconds for Body Solvent to penetrate and break down the contaminant. Wipe off with a dry cloth. On really tough tar and tree sap, I spray, soak and wipe with a cloth dipped in Body Solvent.

    Body Solvent is great on petroleum-based stains like tar, gum, tree sap and oily road grime. Body Solvent will also remove cosmoline in the engine compartment and white wax stains in vinyl moldings. (Do not use on clear plastics.)

    Remember, spray on, wait 30 to 45 seconds, wipe off.

    Net weight 1 gallon.
