So after the last track visit, I now have a lot of rubber residue sorta fused to my rear end. Does anyone have a good idea on how to remove it? I have tried bug and tire with no luck; nervous about putting anything else on the paint.

When I take the Stang to the strip I spray some Pam cooking spray to the rear to prevent tire rubber from sticking. Sounds crazy, but it works. As for removing the rubber from your car, I would suggest taking it to a detail shop and see what they would do. I used to be a detailer and I used bug & tar remover that was safe on clear coat finishes. A little elbow grease was involved but it worked for me.

Have you tried washing with really foamy/sudsy soap, and gently work it loose.
I have done a few good burnouts, and that's what I did to take it off.

To keep it from sticking the next time, I saw this product in the Mustangs unlimited catalog.

I removed burn out rubber off of my 92 today, that honestly has been on it for over a year. You can go to your local Advance Auto Parts, or Autozone, and buy "Purple Power" degreaser. I sprayed it on, and let it sit for about a minute, and then it rubbed off easily. Good luck.

TO REMOVE- Try Goof Off, Goo-gone, or WD-40. Also a hair dryer may help if the rubber has begun to harden. Wash and wax after. It will not harm the paint.
TO PREVENT- before burnout, apply a couple of coats of wax to area behind tires, but do not buff out yet. After burning out, just wipe the rubber with a soft towel, it just falls right off.
Or you can always go out and purchase some Yosemite Sam or naked lady mudflaps.
