How do I get rubber of my paint/fenderwells??
I got to the track about twice a month and have tons of fun. Problem is the day after trying to get all the rubber off my paint and fenderwells. I've tried turtle wax bug and tar remover and goo gone. Neither do a good job. So I'm looking for any tips or tricks any of you might have. Thanks in advance for your help.

i rub vasoline on my lower quarters before i burn out .. the stuff does`nt stick .. kerosine should remove it but try an inconspicious spot to check for base/clear coat damage ..

Hey Leo,
what about 'goo-gone' that stuff removes everything. Maybe some isopropyl alcohol ???
You know, it'd look funny but the big 'ol Ford Splash guards would prevent this. At the track I notices a lot of cars had aluminum riveted to the fender well to keep the rubber off the lower panel as much as possible, the mud guard/splash guard might be the trick. Of course that doesn't help the present situation... I'll ask around.

Isopropyl alcohol may work, but I don't think there's much difference between that and the aforementioned 3m product. Honestly, I think they are probably the same thing, but one's marked up much more than the other.

Rain X makes a spray on bug guard product for the front of cars that works ok. Spray it on before and most bug guts hose off easily later. Might work for track rubber.
Or PAM for pots and pans might work. Again apply it before going to the track.
A good recent coat of wax wouldn't hurt.

Clear "shelf paper"(it's really plastic), get it at WaMart for 5.00 a roll. It has a water based adhesive, won't leave any residue (unless it gets wet,but it washes off). I have used it for years, it also works as a fender cover when you work on your car!

But if you're currently stuck with a bunch of rubber on your car.... after you've scrubbed off as much as you can with Goo-Gone or similar product, the good ol' claybar generally gets at the last remaining bits and pieces
