Carbon Collective Shift Intensive Cleaner, Glue & Tar Remover
Removing stubborn contaminants such as tar, glue or heavy grease demands an exceptionally effective product able to handle the most persistent deposits. This intensive cleaner was specially developed to quickly and safely dissolve contamination that regular car shampoos cannot remove. It is an indispensable helper for paint decontamination, engine bay cleaning and removing adhesive residues from wheel weights or films.
When maintaining a vehicle we often encounter contaminants that cannot be removed by ordinary washing. Tar spots, adhesive residues from old toll stickers, advertising decals or wheel balancing weights are both an aesthetic and functional issue. This specialized product penetrates deep into the structure of these contaminants and chemically breaks them down, allowing them to be easily wiped away without rubbing that could damage the paint. Its development took several years with the goal of creating a product that offers maximum efficiency while remaining safe for treated surfaces. The result is a highly effective formula that handles long-set grime and simplifies the decontamination process before applying protective layers.
In addition to tar and glue removal, this cleaner also proves useful for engine bay and mechanical component cleaning. It handles old layers of grease, engine oil, operational fluids and dust that accumulate under the hood. Simply spray it onto the dirty areas, let it work briefly and then rinse off. It is equally effective on tyres, where it can remove old layers of impregnations, dressings and deeply embedded road grime, preparing the rubber for new protection. This multifunctional character makes it a universal solvent for a wide range of demanding detailing tasks, saving time and effort.
The product is designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional detailers and enthusiastic amateurs alike. Its formulation allows safe use on painted surfaces, wheel rims and metal engine components. However, safety instructions should be observed, such as using protective gloves and avoiding application on headlights and sensitive plastics. Regular use of this cleaner during the decontamination phase ensures surfaces are perfectly smooth and ready for polishing or applying waxes, sealants or ceramic coatings. Thanks to its ability to dissolve even industrial waxes and rubber residues from tyres after track driving, it becomes an essential part of a complete car care kit.

How to use
- Removing tar: Spray the product directly onto the affected spot and let it work for a few seconds until the contaminants begin to run. Then wipe the surface with a clean microfiber cloth and repeat if necessary.
- Cleaning tyres: Apply a sufficient amount of product to a microfiber cloth until saturated. Wipe the tyre sidewall until old impregnations and dirt are removed, then rinse the surface with water.
- Removing glue: Spray the cleaner directly onto the adhesive. If removing glue from wheel weights, use a plastic scraper to remove the foamed layer, reapply the product to the remaining adhesive and wipe it off with a microfiber cloth.
- Cleaning the engine bay: Spray the product onto contaminated areas and let it act for 1 to 2 minutes. For heavy contamination, use a stiff-bristled brush and then rinse thoroughly with water.
- Removing waxes and protective coatings: To remove old waxes or preservative sprays, spray the cleaner on the surface and wipe with a microfiber cloth. Repeat until you achieve a completely clean surface.
- Removing rubber marks: Spray the product onto tyre rubber deposits, let it act for 1 to 2 minutes and then wipe with a quality microfiber cloth.
