AHH stupid tar
 

stupid sound deadening tar!!!

i've been trying to get out all of the sound deadening tar in my crx in between the rest of the duties like work i have to deal with so its taking me a week now...

i started by strippin out my interior.

i used dry ice and a chisel to break it up in bigger chunks... i got most of it out, but there were still bits and peices left behind.

so...

i looked around and someone suggested a parts cleaner because of the intensity of it... so i poured it in the car!... it took up the paint and some of the tar... but there is still a lot left. on top of that, now i have exposed metal that i cannot paint yet(like i plan to do all along) and there is still tar everywhere! what will get this crap out of my car? here are pictures:

as you can see it is real shitty. i've got to do something about it like today and tomorrow... i'm not going to keep driving it like this... tar on my shoes and i cannot carry ---- around and i don't want to ---- up my decently clean si seats :) and it really needs another color! lol...
what chemical or whatever could i possibly use to make this car spotless from that freaking tar?

also some of it got sprayed on my paint on the outside of the car and the headliner and the windows... what can take this off AND not destroy paint or my headliner or windows?(lower priority of course)

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

just keep the chisl and all

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

does anyone know of a chemical that will allow me to just wipe this stuff up?

the reason i started this project is because i'm going to PAINT the interior. i'm not installing my interior ever again.

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

Acetone.. or what ever... or what about goof off? in not mabye a engin degreaser and let it sit for a while then wipe it up or if you can spray in out?

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

pour 5 gallons off gas on your floor and then light it on fire, when the fire is out the job is done.

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

shouldnt have poured that ---- on there in the first place.

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

;)

if you couldent get it off in one area why would you keep going?

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

Get any adhesive stripper.

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

goo gone or race gas (no smoking!).........both work quickly

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

i know this is a tangent and what not but can you get broader pics and maybe size them down a bit. i want to look at the whole project as well as the rest of the car. also i want to knwo wht the car looks liek with those black sideskirt things off

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

some dude from Honda-tech did it by covering the whole floor with dry ice, those crap will freeze/harded, then you smake it to crack and simply peel it all off.

BUT

:-\

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

Looks like youve heard about all the "tricks" now your left with good old elbow grease. Sometimes there is no easy "wipe it up" way. Get in there and own that ----!

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

Acrysolve...i have it at work..eats up anything..

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

i poured some in it, let it sit for 5 min and then chiseled some pieces out. i figured it would break it as loose as i needed it while i was using my elbow grease. so i then poured the rest of it out all over the car and let it sit so that it could take action. then i tried chiseling some more and basically gave up because it was getting dark and this stuff was obviously not doing what i needed it to do so i went to a coin op pressure washer... where it became puddles of broken down tar, the parts cleaner ----, and water... then i vacuumed it out.

i took advice from the wrong guy when he suggested "chem dip"... that ---- was a waste of my money and time... now i smell like it and my boss is sending me home because it is giving us all burning sensations in our eyes and noses. i work at an isp btw and this ---- is all in my clothes. i'm about to go home and change clothes and ride my ------- schwinn to work. haha! its been 2 days and my car still smells like that ----!

anyway, i bought some floor adhesive remover ---- because that's the best adhesive remover i could find. and it works very effeciently... now i just have to figure a way to get it out of there. i need like a huge ------- contoured squeegy and a ledge to dump all the ---- off of. ::)

this is the car:

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

i like the camo paint. looks sweet

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

haha... i could make it look like this again except for the steering wheel and cluster, but i'd prefer to clean it, paint it, and ride it instead.

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

shits badass i bet the cops like it

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

That camo scheme reminds me of the 3 Eko STIs that were on the cover of Modefied Mag.It looks pretty good.

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

brake fluid works insanely well. just normal dot 3. but it eats paint, so dont get it on anything you dont wanna repaint. let the brake fluid soak for awhile, then you can pretty much wipe it up.

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

not finished cleaning yet, but coming along! no more horrible smell that stays in my clothes now... here are pictures of the progress:

got it done. i've got to snap some pictures of the interior assembled... will post in a while.

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

sweet

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

nice, camo interior... thats dedication to the theme :)

Re: AHH stupid tar
 

indeed :)

there are very many people around here that know me by the car.

but really, just like the outside of the car, i had to get rid of the random colors. this time you looked at my car and saw neutral colors(white black and grey) outside and then the inside yellow took the attention. if i was going to paint it, what better choice? it came out just as well as i planned. i'll have some thorough pictures in the next day or so. i also had a chance to take out all the things that i didn't use. i've been driving crx's for the past 4 years daily so i knew exactly what i wanted to keep and what i didn't use.

Re: AHH stupid tar
