Track Rubber on Paint
Are there any secret tips for getting those nice black streaks of rubber off the paint the day after a track event? Its almost like they are permanent, very stubborn.

Yep, Wallyman is right. That QuickShine 99 is the ticket. It gets rid of the rubber and other stuff immediately and shines the car at the same time.

Pick up some wax and grease remover from the automotive paint store. A gallon of the stuff cost less then $20. Takes the rubber off with no rubbing and won't harm the finish.
WD-40 will take the rubber off but it's a mess to clean up.

Put some zaino on the hood, nose and roof, BEFORE you take the track. And it will come off with soap and water......

You are not going to believe this but by accident I found the perfect product. it goes on completely easily and effortlessly removes the rubber with no waxing, rubbing, etc needed.
In my basement I found an old, rusting can of GM Goodwrench Tar and Road Oil Remover Part #1050172. This was left over from my waxer days. I could not believe how great this stuff is.
I don't know if they still make it-this product alone may be responsible for global warming or cancer but it it is unbelievable at removing the rubber marks.

I dont know how many of the posts above do not damage the paint, but the my best (and fastest) way is to use a cleaner wax (meguiar or mothers is fine) and a PC or rotary, you can wax the whole car and take the rubber with it. But I detail my car carefully after every event. I then use optimum polish and P21S or pinnacle sovereign and I'm done. But cleaner wax on a buffer works great, and fast. Because I dont know about anyone else but I seem to get hundreds of them every time.

The guys at the local Kragen recomended Tarminator (by Stoners) and it was PERFECT. Spray it on, wait, rinse and nearly done. Reapply, and then rub the most stubborn of spots. If there was any wax already on the truck this may not have been neccessary, and if there was wax I'm sure this stuff would remove it too.
$6 a can and I used 3 full cans.

I started a thread on this a while ago. There were a lot of posts and I tried most of the stuff. Most of it was just plan hard work and extra buffing and then waxing etc. Other stuff just plain did not work.
