Removing Rubber

Well, I went to the track a few weeks ago and ended up with a little rubber on my rear panels. (I was stupid I admit). Well, I tried WD40, GOO-GONE, and some BUG AND TAR REMOVAL and it really didn't help much. Anyone have any other tips on getting this off?

Aprpeciate it,

Micah

If you keep those areas waxed/sealed, they will be much easier to clean up.

Next time at the track, you might put some tape over those areas.

Or try to 'mask' the areas with a 'Spray on Shield', from Dupli-Color, provides temporary spray-on protection for your vehicle where bugs and road grime can do damage. It’s ideal for the front end, rear quarter panel and rocker panels. Spray on Shield as a temporary bra for long road trips, quick mud flaps or as a bug guard. Shield sprays on easily and dries in less than a minute. And best of all, it stays on until you wash it off. You can power wash it off or use soap and water. Rain, snow or moisture in the air won’t affect it. This product leaves no residue on a vehicle’s paint. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/shield.html
