Got some tar in my bedliner and on the outside of my tailgate - anybody have suggestions for removing it so I can use my bed again?

Any strong solvent should remove tar. Kerosene/varsol works really well. Just smells real bad if you get it on you. Alcohol will also remove it, the rubbing kind, don't know if Jim Beam or Jack Daniels removes tar, but makes you not care anymore. Acetone/paint remover should do the trick too.

You can also try a sticker remover product ike "goo-gone". It's also probably not as toxic or harmful to paint or wax as acetone, lighter fluid, gasoline. Also, works great on removing bumper sticker glue and price tag glue off any surfaces. Most hardware stores have it as does Home Depot, Walmart, Target, etc.

I've had good luck using WD40 for removing sticky stuff, not sure iffin it'll work for tar though.

How much tar do you have?
I use the alcohol from WalMart they sell as gasoline de-icer and plenty
of paper towels so I don't just smear the tar around.
The stuff in the blue bottle seems to work best & doesn't attack the liner.
Just don't let it stay on your paint for any length of time.
Acetone would probably take off your paint.
Good Luck

WD40 works great on tar

I've used bug and tar remover from Walmart in the past and it took the stuff clean off. You can get it at most auto shops too. Its also safer on your bedliner than acetone and other thinners i think.

I reccomend an oxyacetylene torch. it will remove the tar, and the offending metal as well

I think the proper tool would be a grinder. It would take that tar right off.

BBQ lighter fluid will do the job and not stink like hell -- -- unless you use a lighter.

Me and my dad worked onj a paving crew as mechanics and my dads brand new dodge was covered in tar spots on the hood just hit it with Tar-Gone and the tar was gone and the paint was still on the truck.

Now there is another fine example of thinking outside the box.....I will save a fortune on acetylene!!

I use Comet Soft Scrub for tar (I think), iceplant residue, and just about anything else.

This stuff works really well.

Also the Toyota dealer has some really good stuff for bug and tar that Toyota sells in a red can. Available in the parts department of any dealer.

Both of these will handle just about anything and not damage your paint.
