Auto Graph ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover is a powerful solvent-based cleaner developed for the spot removal of the most stubborn contaminants from a vehicle's painted surfaces and bodywork. The product tackles contaminants that standard tar removers cannot handle – including hardened tar residues, industrial adhesive, resins, and paint transfer from parking damage.

ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover is applied sparingly to a clean microfibre cloth and worked directly onto the affected area. Thanks to the concentrated formula, minimal mechanical agitation is required, reducing the risk of scratching the paintwork. The surface must be washed with car shampoo immediately after treatment to remove solvent residues.

The product is suited to professional detailers and reconditioning workshops that regularly handle vehicles with severe contamination. See more Auto Graph products for car care in our range.

What is ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover and why choose it?

ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover is Auto Graph's strongest option within the tar and adhesive remover category. Whilst a standard Tar & Glue Remover handles fresh and superficial contamination, ZIRCON is formulated for situations where contaminants are hardened, deeply embedded, or of an industrial nature – for example sticker residues, tape residues, and grease stains that do not respond to conventional products.

The solvent-based formula acts quickly, dissolving the bond between the contaminant and the painted surface without requiring heavy mechanical agitation. This makes ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover a time-efficient choice for professional use where precision and careful handling of the paintwork are essential.

Where is this product suitable?

• Car care businesses handling vehicles with severe asphalt and tar residues
• Vehicle preparation prior to Ceramic Coating or Sealant application

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does Auto Graph ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover work for removing sticker and tape residues?

Yes. Auto Graph ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover is specifically formulated for contaminants that a standard Tar & Glue Remover cannot handle, including hardened sticker and tape residues. Apply a small amount to a clean microfibre cloth, work the product onto the residue with light pressure, and then wash the surface immediately with car shampoo and water to remove solvent residues.

What volume does Auto Graph ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover come in and how economical is it to use?

Auto Graph ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover is supplied in a 750 ml bottle. The product is intended for spot application, meaning a small amount goes a long way per treatment. Thanks to the concentrated solvent formula, minimal product is needed per stain, making the 750 ml bottle cost-effective for professional use with a high volume of vehicles.

What sets Auto Graph ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover apart from a standard tar remover?

A standard tar remover is formulated for fresh and superficial tar and asphalt stains. Auto Graph ZIRCON Heavy Duty Remover features a more powerful solvent-based formula that also dissolves hardened resins, industrial adhesive, grease, and paint transfer – contaminants that a standard product cannot tackle. ZIRCON also requires less mechanical agitation thanks to its fast-acting formula, reducing the risk of scratching the paintwork during treatment. The product should always be used as a spot treatment and the surface must be washed with shampoo immediately after use. See also more tar removers in our range for comparison.
