How to use
Just the tonic is used after the Purple Rain decontamination process and removes tar deposits from exterior paintwork and alloy wheels. It rapidly breaks down by dissolving the tar into black streaks which then are easy to remove by simply wiping away with a standard work towel. Just The Tonic also removes any brown tarnishing that is present on the surface, dissolving it upon contact.
Apply Just The Tonic to the surface liberally to the affected areas, leave the product to work for up to 2-3 minutes, Just The Tonic will start to work instantly. Do not let the product to dry on the surface, if you do leave the product on longer than the recommend time – re apply more Just The Tonic to the surface and remove with a work microfibre towel.
If the tar deposits are still present, you may need to re-apply for a second coat. In some cases, tar is more difficult to remove. A blast with Just The Tonic to leave a clean tar free area!
Just The Tonic will degrade if not remove your waxes or sealants on the surface and you may need to re-apply.Delivery & Returns

Amazing product, removed tar with ease from my car – after trying other products, JTT blows them out of the water.

Thankyou for the review Mr Dyson. We appreciate your order & value your custom.
Tom Brough –
Brilliant stuff for removing tar spots, doesn’t need long to work and I’ve never needed to agitate it, just sprayed it on, give it a minute and hey presto job done. Awesome stuff.
Autobrite Direct –

Thankyou Richard!
Jody Mitchell –
Possibly the best Autobrite product I’ve used so far…the ease of use is phenomenal. I’ve never removed tar as easy in my life. Anything else I’d tried was such a chore. Spray on and wipe it away. Works equally great with sticky glue residue from decals, ppf etc aswell
Autobrite Direct –
Thankyou Jody!
Rory Davies –
Bought 500ml to start with. Was that impressed I bought 5liters shortly after. Its the best tar and glue remover I have used up to now. I find it doesn’t take long untill you can see it start to bleed untill other brands. Definitely recommend this product
Autobrite Direct –
