GADGETS
2.Apply the chosen product to the surface with the tar.
3.In some cases (WD-40, Peanut butter, Goo Gone),
you will need to let the product sit on the tar for about 30
STAKELIGHT
seconds.
4.Wipe the area with a soft cloth. Do not use any
abrasive cloths or they could scratch the surface of the
paint.
5.Repeat until all of the tar is removed.
6.Wash the clean surface as usual to remove any
residue from the removal product. Leaving the product
on for prolonged periods of time could damage the
surface of the paint and cause discoloration.
Additional Tips and Advice
If there are any minor scratch marks from the
scrubbing (if you accidentally used an abrasive pad),
buff them out with a soft cloth and apply a good wax to
make the surface shine like new.

The Petit Le Mans covers a maximum of 1,000 miles
Petit Le Mans October 1-4
(1,600 km) (which is approximately 394 laps) or a
maximum of 10 hours, whichever comes first; only
once, in the rain-stopped 2009 race, has the leading
team failed to complete 1,000 miles (1,600 km). In
addition to the overall race, teams of two or three
drivers per car compete for class victories in four
different classes of cars, two for Le Mans prototypes
and two for grand tourer cars. Class winners of this
event receive an automatic invitation to the following
year's 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Petit Le Mans powered by Mazda (French for little
Le Mans) is a sports car endurance race held annually
at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, USA. It uses the
rules established for the 24 hours of Le Mans by the
Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), which are slightly
modified if necessary, mainly to allow additional cars to
compete.
The race was founded by Road Atlanta owner Don
Panoz and first run on October 10, 1998 as part of the
IMSA season. The 1999 edition was one of the original
events of the American Le Mans Series. This year will
mark the 2nd Annual Intercontinental Le Mans Cup,
which connects the races in North America, Europe and
Asia.
