User questions & answers

Question:	Will this strip wax
Answer:	My fault. I didn't follow instructions when using this on my motorhome. I put some in a bucket and added water then used a wash head on a poll to apply it to the front on my motorhome. It took off every bit of wax. I had to take it to a detailer and have the overhang on the motorhome detailed to get the wax back on. $179 mistake. Follow the instructions. Dilute like they tell you be precise.
Question:	Will this product remove tar as well
Answer:	No it will not dissolve tar, there are products specific for that.
Question:	Will adding this to the windshield washer reservoir & using the wipers work
Answer:	I Don’t. I wouldn’t add to windshield wipers fluid.What I do is spray it on windshield &front grill pressure wash off work great like that
Question:	It says for normal use to dilute 1:10 for heavy duty 1:4... but then under "features" it says Dilution: 1:1... Which is it
Answer:	I use this stuff to clean the large front windshield on my diesel motorhome and it is excellent at removing bugs and cleaning in general. One container can last me longer than a year. I put about 2 inches of water in a 5 gal pail and then add less than 1/8 of a cup of the concentrate. You do not need much. It makes mild suds when you apply it. Make sure you rinse off with water. When done, it leaves a residue that beads up water for a while. Highly recommend.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work on bird droppings
Answer:	I have been using 3D bug remover to clean the bugs off the huge windshield on my large diesel motorhome for over 4 years it it is awesome. I highly recommend it for that. I have never tried it on bird droppings. Normally if soap and water does not remove the bird dropping, you have waited too long to clean off the droppings and the clear coat on your paint has been etched by the strong acid in the droppings. Once this happens the only thing that you can do to correct the damage is to use paint correction compound with a correction pad mounted on a heavy duty random orbit buffer. It can be a lot of work and you need to watch one of the many You Tube videos first to learn how to use correction compound to prevent damaging your paint further. Bird droppings exposed to the sun can damage paint finishes in as little as a few hours if not cleaned off. Once the paint is damaged there are no easy chemical remedies.
Question:	How does this perform in removing bird droppings
Answer:	I have used this for at least 6 years on my Class A Motorhome [Fiberglass] with great results. It works well to soften and remove Bugs and seems to be effective on Bird droppings as well. I wet the sufface and spray liberally and allow to soak a while, at least 10 to 15 min. I brush with a very soft car wash brush and spray a second time then brush and wash with Car Wash soap. I always let it soak after spraying and never let it Dry on the surface, sometimes I will mist it with my hose to keep it wet. I have also used it on the front of our cars and it takes a lot less effort on Paint than Fiberglass and dosn't seem to bother the Wax.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this good for cleaning rims? Mine have all these black spots caked the hell on looks like tar. Will this do the trick
Answer:	Thank you for your question. Tarminator is safe for use on uncoated metal rims. Because many rims are coated, we recommend you test for compatibility in an out of sight area before widespread usage. Dave Scranton Inside Sales Manager Stoner Inc (makers of Tarminator) [email protected]
Question:	Has anyone tried this on bumper sticker glue
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. Tarminator should effectively remove bumper sticker when used as directed. Follow instructions on the can and be sure to test in an out of the way area for compatibility if possible. Keep in mind that Tarminator is a strong cleaner that can be aggressive toward some plastics. Dave Scranton Inside Sales Manager Stoner Inc (makers of Tarminator) [email protected]
Question:	Do you think this would work safely on an RV? I have a ton of stubborn tree sap spots
Answer:	I’ve used it for tar on both my car and 2016 RV. Haven’t seen any issues. I would suspect it should work on sap, but I’d try it on a small spot on the roof to see if it takes it off AND if it does any harm to your roof’s material.
Question:	Is this safe for removing tar on tires or harm the tire
Answer:	I was trying get tree sap off truck paint. So i don't know about tires.I didn't use on the tires. I found it really wasn't effective on my tree sap, what I found most effective was the hot, strong soapy water stream from a do it your self car wash. But my tree sap was really thick, more than a years worth of parking under a really sappy tree.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long does each 16oz bottle/can last? Thank you
Answer:	Depends on how bad the bugs are
Question:	will this remove florida bugs that have dried in florida sun over a month ago
Answer:	It should certainly help. I would recommend soaking the surface with water to loosen the bugs as much as possible. Spray Lifter-1 on the surface and let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe vigorously. A high volume water spray would help too.
Question:	Lots of bad reviews is it as good as people say
Answer:	It works just OK. I would not buy it again
