Re: How to get tar / rubber off the car? I personally use gasoline. It works great for me. Ill use like soft Toilet paper to scrub it off. No problems for me and Ive been doing it for a while.

Re: How to get tar / rubber off the car? Try spraying Pledge furniture polish on the areas that get alot of build up before you run the car and it will keep the rubber from sticking and is easy as hell to wash off.Its cheaper than Geddex. Wd-40 is a good remover also.

Re: How to get tar / rubber off the car? you might try mop-n-glo triple action floor POLISH(not cleaner) that's what all the atv guy's put on their four wheeler's to keep the mud and stuff from sticking to them??

Re: How to get tar / rubber off the car? WD-40 here also. Finally got wise though and started putting a thin coat of Zaino on the rear fenders prior to going to the track. The next day I just wipe it off with a towel. Works great.
. It was really slimey at the track 
, and I did 16 runs...

Re: How to get tar / rubber off the car? On the way home from the track, I use the high pressure washer at the local car wash. I like to get it off as soon as possible after drag racing is over.

Re: How to get tar / rubber off the car? i have used burnout guard for the last year or so, and that stuff works great! I left it on for 3 weeks one time, and still came off with just soap and water.

Re: How to get tar / rubber off the car? you mean you actually take all the rubber off that your car worked so hard to put there just to make you smile? Dayum. I wait til it starts to peel off from its own weight, takes about 2 weekends (20+runs) or so and it gets heavy enough you can watch t peel right off.
