KOCHCHEMIE Tar & Road Bitumen Remover — Teerwäsche A 1 L concentrate, solvent-based, halogen-free

KOCHCHEMIE Koch‑Chemie -Teerwäsche A is a powerful solvent-based cleaner formulated to lift tar, road bitumen, tree sap and adhesive residues from solvent-resistant vehicle surfaces without halogenated hydrocarbons or NTA.

Designed for professional detailers, workshops and enthusiasts, this 1-litre concentrate removes stubborn spots left by road fallout, tar, and stickers while remaining safe on plastics and many vehicle finishes when used correctly. Its solvent formula targets sticky contaminants that water-based cleaners can’t dissolve, letting you restore painted panels, bumpers, wheel arches and tool surfaces quickly. Because it avoids halogenated hydrocarbons and NTA, it aligns with modern safety and regulatory preferences while delivering the solvent strength needed for heavy-duty cleaning.

How does this product remove tar and road bitumen effectively?

The solvent ingredients penetrate and dissolve hydrocarbons like tar and bitumen, loosening them from the substrate so they can be wiped or rinsed away. It’s formulated to act quickly on the spot without excessive scrubbing, reducing risk of abrasion when used as directed.

• Dissolves tar and bitumen for easy removal with a microfiber or soft cloth.
• Works at low concentrations, extending product yield on large surfaces.
• Evaporates cleanly so minimal residue remains for follow-up washing.

Is it safe to use on plastics, painted panels and vehicle trim?

Yes — KOCHCHEMIE Koch‑Chemie -Teerwäsche A is suitable for solvent-resistant surfaces and safe on most interior plastics and exterior trims when used according to instructions. Avoid use on sensitive or non-solvent-resistant materials and always test in an inconspicuous area first.

• Approved for painted panels, bumpers, wheel arches and interior plastics.
• Not recommended for soft plastics, decals, or delicate finishes unless tested.
• Rinse or wash treated areas after application to remove dissolved residues.

How should professionals apply this cleaner for best results?

Apply sparingly to the contaminant, allow a short dwell time for solvents to act, then wipe or emulsify and rinse. Use protective gloves and ensure good ventilation; for heavy deposits repeat as needed or use with mechanical agitation such as a soft brush.

• Apply directly to tar spots or onto a cloth, not continuously saturating the surface.
• Allow a brief dwell (seconds to a minute) then agitate with a microfiber or soft brush.
• Rinse or wash the area afterwards and dry to inspect results.

What surfaces and settings is this product suitable for?

This cleaner is formulated for all solvent-resistant surfaces across cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and industrial equipment. It is also compatible with carwash brushes, workshop floors and machinery where hydrocarbon deposits occur, making it a versatile choice for professionals.

• Automotive exteriors: painted panels, bumpers and wheel wells.
• Commercial and industrial equipment with solvent-resistant finishes.
• Workshop areas and carwash components requiring tar and adhesive removal.

Who is this for? KOCHCHEMIE Koch‑Chemie -Teerwäsche A is aimed at professional detailers, bodyshops, fleet managers and hands-on enthusiasts who need a fast-acting solvent degreaser for stubborn road contaminants. If you regularly encounter tar, tree sap, sticker residues or bitumen on vehicles or equipment and require a product free from halogenated hydrocarbons and NTA, this 1-litre formula offers concentrated performance with the chemical strength expected by experts. Always follow safety guidance, test on a small area first, and use appropriate PPE for solvent handling.
