Fast Acting Adhesive Remover

Target the toughest, stickiest contaminants with Emporio Automotive, DARK SPLATTER GEL.

This exceptionally powerful, solvent-based formula is engineered to dissolve and remove stubborn, resilient residues on contact, making it an absolutely vital part of your vehicle's deep decontamination stage. Its advanced chemical removal process is essential for minimizing the risk of marring and scratching that can occur during subsequent mechanical stages like clay barring and polishing.

DARK SPLATTER GEL is incredibly user-friendly, developed as a highly viscous liquid which provides superior cling and lingers on surfaces for the maximum possible penetration time. This extended dwell time assists the powerful chemical breakdown of contaminants, allowing even the harshest sticky residues like heavy tar, tenacious glue, and baked-on rubber splatter to be safely and effortlessly wiped away with a soft microfibre cloth.

You'll immediately witness the solvent's action as it starts to dissolve heavy contaminants, causing pollutants to literally melt and physically "bleed" off the surface. Beyond common road grime, DARK SPLATTER GEL is also an incredibly effective solution for removing challenging issues such as traffic cone rash, stubborn factory protective wax coatings, the remnants of old stickers, decals, and badges, and even paint overspray. Its versatility makes it an indispensable tool for a truly comprehensive detailing process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to its extreme strength, DARK SPLATTER GEL is a highly potent product. Please be aware that it may cause damage to fresh paint, SMART repairs, un-catalysed lacquers, and some delicate vintage finishes. If you intend to use the product on these sensitive surfaces, it is crucial to proceed with caution and always test on an inconspicuous area beforehand. Only if no hazing, swelling of the finish, or paint transfer to your applicator or microfibre towel is observed, can you then use DARK SPLATTER GEL with confidence.

Directions for use:

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS TEST ON AN INCONSPICUOUS AREA FIRST (e.g., door jamb, lower bumper). Apply to a cool, dry surface in a shaded area. DO NOT use on hot surfaces or in direct sunlight. DO NOT let the product dry on the surface. Wear appropriate gloves and eye protection during use.

1. Prepare Surface: Ensure the vehicle surface is cool to the touch, completely dry, and free from loose dirt or heavy debris. This product is for spot treatment of specific contaminants, not a general pre-wash.
2. Apply Sparingly: Apply DARK SPLATTER GEL directly onto affected areas where tar spots, glue, rubber splatter, or other stubborn contaminants are visible. Use a fine mist, or for precise application, dab the product using a dedicated applicator. A little goes a long way due to its strength and viscosity. Ensure the gel fully covers the contaminant.
3. Allow to Dwell: Allow the product to dwell for 1-3 minutes. During this short dwell time, you will observe the contaminants beginning to dissolve and "bleed" as the solvent takes effect. Do not allow it to sit for extended periods, especially on sensitive or re-painted finishes.
4. Gentle Wipe: With a clean, soft microfiber cloth, very gently wipe away the dissolved contaminants. Fold and flip the cloth frequently to a clean side to avoid re-depositing contaminants. Avoid excessive pressure or aggressive scrubbing.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: IMMEDIATELY after wiping, rinse the treated area thoroughly and completely with a strong stream of clean water (a pressure washer is highly recommended). Ensure all product residue and dissolved contaminants are completely removed from the surface and surrounding areas.
6. Follow with Wash: For optimal results and to ensure the surface is perfectly clean and ready for subsequent steps like claying or polishing, proceed with a full wash using your preferred Emporio Automotive shampoo (e.g., ELIXIR SHAMPOO or CERAMIX SHAMPOO) after using DARK SPLATTER GEL.
