So what do you use to get Tire rubber / Tar off with?

[DynoJoe]

I don't mean just a little bt, I mean after a track event where you were trying to be John F Force.



I have been told to use WD40 and it works great, just takes alot.

What else it out there that won't hurt the paint?

WD40 if its already on the car. you gotta do some scrubbing but it melts the rubber sorta and makes it tons easier to get off. this year im gonig to try to prevent it with the geddex (sp) burnout guard and jsut spray the rear of the car down. its water soluable so it washes wit hte rubber right off the paint

jkust wash the WD40 off when your done. also the guys at Zaino told me that it doesnt remove wax but i think it does so jsut wash it off and rewax the spot when your done

That orange smelling shit works good too. I think it is called Goo Gone or Orange Solve. Just be sure to get the stuff that is transparent and not the stuff you use on your hands that has grit in it!

I have tried the geddex, it works okay for a small bit, but not for a good amount. You still have to scrub it pretty good and also it loks like it turns that part of my fenders a "greenish" color.


Their Window chalk is awsome though.

try the WD40. it has worked for me

If Geddex Burnout Guard is applied in 2 coats 15 minutes apart it should be able to handle any amount of rubber you can throw at it.
When I forget to bring it with me I use the Turtle Wax bug and tar remover in the pump spray not the aerosol.

 

[94tbird]

good idea peter! and welcome to the site!

I never heard of the Geddex but I'll look for it before I go to the track again.

I agree... the Geddex burnout gaurd is OK, but wasn't great. The window chalk however is second to none! You can wipe it off with a dry kleenex!

Try Gummout. Yeah, the same stuff you use to clean out throttle bodies. That stuff is wonderful. I can clean the 3M underbody coating out of the grooves in my finger with that stuff....and it wipes the road goo right off without hard work, and its never hurt my paint...I used it on my '97 Viper GTS (Blue/White stripes), my '99 C5 Vette (yes, I once owned a GM product!), and on this here Sheila-car. Try it!

Won't that take the wax off too?

+1 on the Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover. Works very well. I also actually used the Turtle Wax on the adhesive that was left on my car after removing my spoiler (little off topic, but I think it kinda fits...sorta).

 

[gray ghost]

I use the Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover also . It works great

Cool. Does it not remove the Zaino unde the gunk? I'm pretty sure the Gumout probably does...can't see how it wouldn't, though.

Put some Vasoline on a towel and wipe over the area while it is clean. Then the rubber won't stick. Just take a towel and wipe it all off.

 

[donnyonee]

i guess i'll come thru on this one.
the trick with the wd40 is to spray your fenders before making your runs and then use it afterwards with a soft towel.
