Tardis<Petrol
Don't bother spending money on Tardis. Yes it's a good product and I've had some in the stash for a while now. But if you've got a jerry can kicking about with a bit of petrol in it use that. Works just as well.
Am I right in saying that you'll still need to polish and wax after Tardis? If so it doesn't seem any greater than petrol!
I'm a bit old school btw, sure the detailing queen's will jump on my back soon.

AG Tar is only like £4 and good for actually removing tar as well.
Wad always has to be right though, so for the purposes of this thread, yeah Tardis is the best.

at least you have seen the light and got rid of the sticker  but on a more useful note, I'd go for tar remover and then give a wax afterwards.
