Tar & Spot Remover............??

Anyone have any experience of Holts Tar & General Spor Remover Gel?

I bought a can of this yesterday, and sprayed it on to the affected areas. Rubbed it off, followed the instructions, washed the car, but its left the bodywork all streaky.

Washed it again, still streaky.........waxed it, still streaky.......

Help........what can I do next???

Autoglym intensive tar remover works well. Not sure of the product that your asking about.

Good luck
