Hi guys/girls,

After a ride today I have acquired some Tarmac splatters on my nice new rapha jersey :-(

Does anyone have any ideas as to the best way to get them off?

Thanks

    I used white spirits and it worked great on large spatters of new tarmac.But the jersey did not cost what a rapha costs so try it on small patch under sleeve maybe

    Auto Glym Tar Remover is great for clothes as well as carpets. Apply it with a cotton bud.

    Maybe, with the cost of Rapha kit, you should ask them with an email about how best to clean off the tarmac. The asphalt is really tough to remove, I've lost a lot of work clothes to it over the years. Best of luck.
    Lets just got for a ride, the heck with all this stuff...
