Tar on the trim for a couple years

[agentxc_02]

I have member from volvoxc forum asking what he should use on his trim that has tar that been sitting on it for four years. He is unsure on using kerosene on the trim. He did wash it with medium abbrassive brush. Any thoughts?

Most likely the tar has stained the trim. Exactly what kind of trim are we talking about?

Black plastic trim? Tarminator or Xenit.

I Use to Have the Volvo Dealer account here.So I'm very Familiar with The "Cross Country" Trim...

I kinda Agree with Troy, If its been sitting on there that long you of course stand a better chance of it staining

I would 1st try a APC Full-Strenght

This will take him 4-ever though

So I would go with a Solvent. I would imagine 1 of the Sponsers sales such a Product

However if you get no response PM me and I'll see if I may be able to Your Freind

Yes Stoner's Tarminator is a good safe choice.

Since Troy didn't mention it. I guess I will. The DC store has Tarminator.

Mineral spirits would be my choice..letting it dwell on the area for a while to loosen it up...some trim restore after to start adding life back into the plastic, it will take more than one coat over time
