Default Keeping rubber & tar off the car

I go to the track every week, and keeping the rubber and tar off of the back bumper is kind of a pain in the nads.

I don't like to leave the car bare (did that once and spent 2 hours pushing tar around and peeling off rubber) so I have been masking the rear with blue painters tape. It works, but it takes a while to mask it strip by strip, not to mention people are pointing and laughing

Is there something else I can put back there? I was thinking of spraying some Pam or even tire shine there so maybe the rubber would wipe off earlier. I don't really care about the wheel wells, it's the bumper that drives me nuts.

I use WD-40. Then before I leave the track I take a plastic body puddy knife and whatever had stuck comes off real easy. With the WD-40 very little sticks when compaired to using nothing.

WD-40 FTW. Go to a carwash right after you leave....squirt some pre-rinse on it .......wash clean. It always worked great for me.

I always just put a coat of wax on it and don't wipe it off. Then after the track I come home and rinse it off. The rubber comes right off.
