paint it black vette

would post in general section but they dont do burnouts there. here's what i have tried so far that doesnt work. heat small torch, goof off, bug and tar remover, various metal polishes, compound medium breaks a little bit loose, brake cleaner barely cuts it, wd 40 , only thing that works somewhat is gasoline and its a lot of rubbing. will try airplane paint stripper tommorrow. anybody got a solution. dont want to use a wire wheel either. like us racers id like something that will cut the rubber loose with a gooid et.

Pressure washer works pretty good

Try Gunk engine cleaner also simple green works but not as well as engine cleaner.

after paint stripper gunk is next. reason i doint want to use wire wheel is the ti's are sold. the corsa extremes just put on friday night and yielded 1 mph over in the 1/4 plus they sound evil

Sell it and get an exhaust that will make your car sound as fast as it really is.

Same prob with my Borla. If you clean it soon after racing, most of it comes off. But some stuff gets cooked on that seems perma bonded to the metal.

i spray everything that i do not want rubber on with wd 40
prior to any burnouts, then it wipes off with no problem

WD 40 will ignite when reaching hot tempertures.

I was using under the hood years ago, spraying WD 40 on the carburator linkage.

The intake was hot enough to cause an intense flash fire.
By the time I smothered it, the vacume hoses & such were melted
big time.

no way the muffler will get hot enough to ignite the wd 40

airplane paint stripper and gunk engine cleaner doesnt work. gasoline only solution thus far and i got 99% off so far and with flitz metal polish on a cotton buff in drill is getting the rest off slowly but there looking good for the effort.
