Default Rubber on bumper.
Whats the best way to get rubber from the track off our bumpers? I thought about using a tire brush but im afriad it might scratch the paint.

isn't there a products called bug and tar remover? I think its safe for paint and should help loosen the stuff up.

i have heard of putting a coat of wax on the back bumper behind the tire before the track to help prevent it from sticking so bad.

Do not use a tire brush. I'm lucky to have a car wash nearby that has hot water and hot soap, works very well. If I don't go there Bug/Tar Remover or WD-40, they both work well.
