I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

rear interior tar = gone.

i heard dry ice works the best..

what i did was used a heat gun and heated the shit up and then used a paint scraper and scraped the shit off. then after it was all off i used PB blaster and cleaned up the rest.

That's better than my way, do what jawn did. I had to use one of those dish washing scratching things to get some of it off and damn my arms were so sore after. And using razor blade will seriously damage the nerves in your finger tips lol but it was all I had. I went to look for dry ice at grocery stores and people said it can be found at some 7 11's so I checked there. I was to anxious to start so I went ahead and did it my way, but I guess you can go to baskin robins or certain ice cream store and they'll have dry ice. good luck man you have a job ahead of you.

Heat gun and scraper is definitely easy. PB Blaster takes the small shit off that you can't scrape. It also eats the paint. haha.

yea ive already begun with the paint scraper/heat gun treatment, but damn it takes forever and a day. its a 5th gen prelude, and has like 2 million times more tar than all the civics and tegs. a good friend of mine has convinced me that i need to go get some dry ice and do it that way. down here they sell it at publix :bang: for hybrids should be helping me finish getting all the crap out today

I might get new sheets of that stuff and put it back in after I get my car painted. I wouldnt mind having my interior painted and then having the tar sheets being black... I just think it doesnt look that great if the tar is painted over.

No tar is the bomb, but takes tons of work. I'm gonna find dry ice to get my floor off this winter, so far me and john only got the back areas clean...gotta get the floor off too!!!!!
