Their a pain to remove sometimes, but solvent disolves and removes em' great!

WD-40 works great...just spray some on the body before lighting em' up.

I have some spray at the shop just for it. You spray it on your car before and then the rubber just wipes off.

This is a good question. My car has a crap load of it all over the fenders, doors, mirrors even on the wing lol. I bought some bug and tar removal but I have not tried it yet.

What, none on the roof, hood, windshield or in the turbo. Uh what or you complining about

We even had some in the intercooler.

I'd try simple green first as oldschool said or mineral spirits is what I've found works. You'll need plunty of clean rags.

removing the rubber isnt something quick and easy, i always used wd40 to do it, but once your car is clean, use pledge inside the wheel wells and under the side skirts. you will never have a problem removing rubber again. it smells nice and fresh too! lol
hope that helps.

p.s. any silicone spray or anything containing silica will prevent a build up of rubber, motul and some other brands also have this spray for sale.

goo gone works. leave it on there for a few minutes and the rubber starts melting off, then you can spray it off with a some strong water pressure.

rubbing alchol and elbow grease works, and cheaper than wd40 , gets off sticky residue from decals too
