Stjarnagloss Tjära Tar & Glue Remover – 500ml
Remove stubborn tar spots, adhesive residue and road contamination with Stjarnagloss Tjära.
Formulated with natural orange oil, Tjära is designed to break down tar and glue without relying on an overly harsh solvent-heavy approach.
It is particularly useful on lower body panels, behind the wheels and other high-contamination areas where road tar tends to accumulate.
Available in 500ml only.
Why Choose Stjarnagloss Tjära?
Tar contamination can be difficult to remove with normal shampoo alone.
Trying to scrub it away physically can also increase the risk of marking the paint.
Tjära is designed to chemically soften and dissolve contamination so it can be removed more easily.
It is ideal for tackling:
- Road tar
- Bitumen spots
- Adhesive residue
- Glue contamination
- Lower-panel grime
- Stubborn bonded contamination

Natural Orange Oil Formula
The standout feature of Tjära is its use of natural orange oil.
This helps dissolve tar and adhesive contamination while giving the product a fresher citrus scent than many traditional tar removers.
That makes the decontamination stage more pleasant without compromising cleaning performance.
Removes Road Tar
Road tar often appears as small black or brown specks bonded to the paint.
It is particularly common on:
- Lower doors
- Side skirts
- Rear quarters
- Bumpers
- Areas behind the wheels
Tjära is designed to soften this contamination so it can be wiped away safely.
Removes Glue & Adhesive Residue
Tjära can also help remove sticky residue left behind by:
- Stickers
- Tape
- Labels
- Adhesive products
- Previous detailing work
This makes it useful for both routine detailing and more specific cleanup jobs.
Ideal for Lower Panels
The lower sections of the vehicle usually collect the most tar contamination.
Rather than covering the whole vehicle unnecessarily, Tjära works best as a targeted treatment.
Focus particularly on:
- Lower doors
- Side skirts
- Wheel-arch areas
- Rear bumper sections
- Lower quarter panels
Targeted Application Saves Product
You do not need to soak the entire vehicle.
A targeted approach is more efficient and helps avoid wasting product.
On lighter paint colours, tar spots are usually easy to see.
On darker paintwork, contamination may be easier to identify by carefully feeling for rough raised areas on the surface.
Ideal Before Clay Bar Decontamination
Tar should ideally be removed chemically before using a clay bar.
Trying to remove heavy tar contamination mechanically can:
- Load the clay quickly
- Increase friction
- Increase the chance of marring
Using Tjära first helps reduce the amount of bonded contamination left for the clay stage.
Ideal Before Polishing
For best polishing results, the paint should be as clean and contaminant-free as possible.
Tjära can form part of a full decontamination process before:
- Machine polishing
- Paint correction
- Waxing
- Sealant application
- Ceramic coating preparation
Ideal with Fallout Remover
Tar and iron contamination are two different types of bonded contamination.
A complete chemical decontamination process may therefore include:
- Tar remover for bitumen and adhesive contamination.
- Fallout remover for iron particles.
- Clay treatment if required.
- Polishing or protection.
This helps prepare the paintwork more thoroughly.
How to Use Stjarnagloss Tjära
For best results:
- Wash and dry the vehicle first.
- Identify areas affected by tar or adhesive contamination.
- Apply Tjära directly to the affected area or onto a suitable microfibre cloth.
- Allow the product time to work on the contamination.
- Gently wipe away the softened residue.
- Repeat if required.
- Clean or rinse the treated area afterwards.
Avoid unnecessary rubbing while the contamination is still hard.
Work on Cool Surfaces
For safer and more controlled use:
- Work on cool panels
- Avoid direct sunlight where possible
- Do not allow the product to dry
- Treat small areas at a time
- Test delicate finishes first
Citrus Fragrance
Traditional tar removers can have a very strong solvent smell.
Tjära's orange-oil formula provides a more pleasant citrus fragrance, making it easier to work with during detailing.
Suitable for Maintenance Detailing
You do not need to use tar remover during every wash.
Tjära is better suited to periodic decontamination when tar begins to build up.
This may be especially useful after:
- Long motorway journeys
- Winter driving
- Freshly resurfaced roads
- Extended periods between details
500ml Bottle
Stjarnagloss Tjära is available in:
- 500ml
Because it is best used as a targeted treatment rather than a full-car cleaner, a 500ml bottle can provide plenty of product for repeated decontamination sessions.
