wd40 and a clean rag. keep finding a clean part of the rag. otherwise, it will streak and you'll still have it stuck.

Has anyone tried this yet... http://www.corrosionx.com/rejex.html

I used it on my sti and it is amazing stuff. I'm not sure how well it will work on rubber but everything that used to stick to the car no longer does ex... bugs, brake dust, road tar etc... The cool thing is it's easy to use, cheap and lasts about 6 months before needing to be reaplied.

Add some fender flares and mud flaps, that will keep it from getting on the side of the car.

PS. James my car runs and will be seeing the dyno soon to make it drivable. Going to get it close to tuned locally and then if its still together I will take it to someone that can turn the wick up and see what she makes. Keep in touch man.
