Anybody have any tips for removing the tar boards in the back of my 4Runner? I'm currently just using a razor and thought about heating it up from underneath then using it. Also, thought about using my air chisel.

All recommendations welcome

 

Dry ice and a chisel/hammer.

 

I used my air chisel for majority of the removal but now have little bits leftover so I am doing an experiment. I sectioned the area off into 3 and used WD40 on one, Goo Gone on another and Oops on the third. Now all are soaking and I will do a write up with pics as soon as I'm done.

 

Quick update: WD40 works amazing.

 

WD40 will remove the majority of sticky petroleum products without hurting paint.

 

yepp lol, he dry ice method works great as well

i tried to get some of that off my first time..and i couldnt do it..took a can of air...turned it upside down..sprayed the liquid on it..boom..worked like a charm..so i got some dry ice LOL

 

Yup. In florida, when we'd come back from the beach and have tar all over our feet, my dad would always use WD-40 to get it off. He always had some in his car for this. Besides, wd-40 is better on the skin than acetone or goo gone.
