The Koch Chemie Eulex is a solvent-based remover that quickly dissolves tar, adhesive residue, tree sap, rubber marks and overspray. You apply it undiluted to a dry, absorbent microfiber towel and wipe the spot; for stubborn residue you dab some Eulex onto the spot, let it dwell briefly and repeat. Eulex is safe on paint, glass, ceramic and metal, evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. So work on cool paint, treat small areas at a time and wash and re-protect the area afterwards, because the solvent also removes your wax there.
What Eulex removes
Eulex is a versatile remover for stubborn, sticky contamination. It dissolves tar and bitumen, but also glue and sticker residue, tree sap, rubber marks, overspray, ink and oil or grease stains. The formula evaporates quickly and leaves no film behind, so after wiping you are left with a clean, streak-free spot. That makes Eulex a handy all-rounder that many detailers keep on hand as standard for exactly those stains a regular shampoo cannot remove.
How to use it
Wash the car first and work on cool paint in the shade, not in full sun or on a warm panel. That way Eulex does not evaporate too fast and works evenly.
Apply Eulex undiluted to a dry, absorbent microfiber towel, or spray it onto the towel. Do not use a large puddle at once; a little on the towel is enough.
Wipe the dirty spot and work small areas at a time, because Eulex evaporates quickly. For stubborn tar or glue, dab some product onto the spot, let it dwell briefly so it softens and repeat instead of rubbing harder.
Wash the treated spot afterwards and restore the protection with a wax, sealant or ceramic spray. The solvent removes your wax on that spot, so reapply it so the panel is protected again.
What you can use Eulex on
Eulex is safe on painted areas, glass, ceramic and metal, such as chrome and trim. On soft plastics, for example headlights or matte trim, test an inconspicuous spot first and check the colour fastness, so you are sure the material handles the product well. That way you use Eulex with confidence exactly where you need it. You will find more options in the tar removers category.
A little goes a long way
You only need a little Eulex per job. A splash on the cloth is enough to loosen a tar spot or glue residue, and because you work in small areas a bottle lasts a long time. That makes Eulex not only versatile but also economical: a one-litre bottle covers dozens of small cleaning jobs, from tar behind the wheel arches to sticker residue on the glass and glue edges after removing a badge. So with one product you handle most of the sticky stains you come across through the year. Store the bottle tightly closed, cool and dry, and the solvent keeps doing its job and stays ready to hand whenever you need it.
Why Eulex is so handy
The strength of Eulex is that it works fast and is versatile. Where you would otherwise need several products for tar, glue and sap, you do it with Eulex in one go, without a sticky residue afterwards. Because it evaporates quickly, the spot is dry and ready for protection straight away. For the complete picture of tar and insects together, read the guide on removing tar and insects.
