Not sure if this is the right place, so Mods please move if it needs to be.

I've searched and searched and couldn't find a clean answer on how to remove the rubber on the side of your car so I was wondering what some of your guys techniques are in removing the rubber off the sides of your car after a track day? Is there anything you guys spray down the sides of the car before racing? I use this bug and tar remover stuff, but it doesn't really help much, it just smears the rubber across the sides and hardly gets it off so I'm stuck with chunks and bits and pieces of rubber down the side of my car.

 

you can use wd-40..always works great

 

Would you use it before or after racing?

 

bug and tar remover wd40 works also after not before.

 

Well, I use the bug and tar remover, but all it does is smear all the rubber around, doesn't really take it off. I tried WD-40 just a little bit ago and it does the same also.
What do you guys use before racing?

 

i use rubbing alcohol.

 

BUG AND TAR REMOVER WORKS MIRACLES..

 

Wd-40

 

yup

 

Q-16..lol
Goobegone works good too.

 

wd40 works for me.... ill try that bug tar remover next time, never thought of using it...

 

googone works well. But i put a nice amount of petroleum jelly/hair grease on a rag and rub it all over the fender and portion of the doors behind the wheel.

after i race a slight wipe with a rag takes alll the rubber rite off.

 

I have used pam before and it does ok.

 

i don't... lol

 

anyone ever try putting a good amount of car wax then after ur done racing just wipe it off?? i was gonna try it this year

 

Turtle wax bug and tar remover workes wonders.

 

blue tape the main area that gets covered in rubber? just rip the tape off after track day. voila.

 

i use optimum no rinse after a trip to the dragstrip to get the rubber off, basically a waterless car wash. comes off very easy.

rubbing alcohol does work good, but that also strips the wax off the car too, so if you do use this just put another layer of wax on to protect it.

it ALWAYS helps to keep a nice coat of wax on the car, keep the finish smooth and slippery.

 

i wd-40 before.

 

I thought I was the only one that has tried that lol

Worked for me!!! couple coats of Pam before, and then Dawn dish soap and warm water to get it off after.....

 

baby oil before around the fenders and doors and a nice wash after does the trick....

bug and tar removal works great to

some ppl go as far as using fuel after especially diesel lol

pick your poison lol

 

yeah but that adds downforce and weight making the car slower. LOL

 

has anyone ever tried this???

I have seen and heard different things, but for me I have used wd-40, bug and tar, hand soap, etc. I think the best thing on my particular car was during my time at the track using some Meguiars Quick Detailer after a few passes and that cleans alot of it up. I have also used some diluted Purple Power, which is not recommended on paint, but I have never had a problem with it. It will strip the wax off the car and can leave some streaks in certain cases, but they can be handled. I have also used the same stuff to get bugs off the front of the car. Again, not something that I would recommend, but I do it and it works great. I just put a little soap and water on the particular area and then spray a little diluted Purple Power on the area to be washed. Wait a few, scrub the areas with my fingers to make sure whatever I want removed is going to come off and then scrub away with my wet rag, rinse off, repeat if necessary. I have gotten several compliments that I have a clean car, so maybe my trick works fine??

 

googone works good for me also
