Oh My! Rust protection at least on the bottom of your vehicle's chassis. I would be very very angry to the point of going Beserk.

  • I’ve seen cars that have driven through fresh asphalt (accidentally) and they didn’t look anything like that.  I don’t see how it is possible to be covered so extensively.

A Facebook user posted in the early hours of Sunday that his car had been splattered with asphalt that he couldn't remove.

Power Kerosene that's what they use to clean /dissolve the Tarry substance.

The damaged car owners should go straight to the police, and if they are lucky, police might just do something.

For a fee

I was going to mention Gasoline. That's kind of a last resort and it is extremely dangerous! We always used the kerosene for road oil and gasoline to remove lane marking paint from cars. Don't wait too long as it gets more difficult with time.

Yes rewax is necessary.

Meh... sell it. As is.

Perhaps he was tailgating the truck that sprays the tack coat!  The truck may have had a leaky valve based on what I see of Thai maintenance!

The car insurance that you bought. 

 

Or TIT? 

When we got new roads in our gated community i got sprayed with hot tar by the roadworkers. I just passed them on the motor and suddenly one guy started spraying hot tar, i horned to him but he didn't seem to care...

 

That's thailand....there's no responsibility

He can buy a liter of diesel and use some elbow grease before the asphalt dries too well.

WD-40 will supposedly remove it as well!

To remove tar:

 

  • Tar remover (available in the car accesory shops in Thailand)
  • WD-40
  • Goo Gone
  • Gasoline
  • Peanut butter

Leave whichever you use to soak in a while and remember though to rewax as all polish will also be removed.

Peanut  Butter ? Really? Crunchy or smooth? Glad I never eat the stuff if it has the  same potential as solvents ?
