Default What is the best way to get rubber off paint?!

Hey Honda-Tech,

I know that this is the drag racing section but i figured that this would be the best fit for this topic..

As we all know when you run massive slicks that stick out way past your fender lines we all get some sort of burnt rubber up the sides of our cars.

Is there any special product that will help ease the scrubbing?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
gizzmo222

i use this along with a microfiber towel, and for the tough spots use some wd40.

just remember wd40 and kerosene will strip off any wax that is on the car so reapply some wax to make it easier the next time to get the rubber off
