Default Rubber removal

Recently went to the track for "Street night" and had a great time. Now unfortunately rubber in the wheelwell . I did a search and there was only one post that received some snide remarks and jokes

Seriously, the car is back to cruise nites, car shows, etc. Anything but hard work solve the problem? read about wd40, tar removal products, plastic scrapper,thinnner, etc. any thoughts?

thanks.
