It is an absolute nightmare to get off. I STILL haven't found a good way to do it. I went from the M/T DRs to ET DRAGS and the slicks throw MUCH less rubber on the fender than the DRs.
Good luck, you've got a chore ahead of you! LOL

lol yup I do. I've though about freezing it so that it might harden and rub off easy. but I wasn't sure how that would go

THIS time.... use hot suddsy water and work it. May need to use a little bug and tar remover depending on how much there is and how long it's been there.
NEXT time.... spray some PAM cooking spray on both fenders(aka Vegetable oil).
Do your John Force burnouts....
Come home and spray it all off.
You're welcome

I always used hot water and elbow grease, that seemed to work the best. I tried bug & tar remover once and it literally melted the rubber to the car, and made it even WORSE to get off. Dawn ended up working the best for me.
I sprayed PAM and then forgot to spray it off for a week. It dried, and my nightmare ensued.
Phew, I don't miss those days.

i use gasonline on a bunch of old shop rags.....just add wax and back in business. Last time i used 3" painters tape and taped up my quarters in the back...that caught most of it and doesnt harm the paint. I tried PAM...works OK..same for burnout guard. What works really well is meguires tire shine...it is in a black can...has a adjustable nozzle for sidewall size. It doesnt hurt the paint and doesnt dry for at least a month. If i spray that really well, i can usually wipe everything right off. Best thing is the blue painters tape...car looks ugly at the track but boy its nice to peel off all that rubber/vht Here is a pic of the painters tape

Thanks a bunch for everyones imput. I've tried the bug and tar remover before and it looked like it started to take off the paint so I stopped using that. I'll definetly try the gas and WD-40 when I get home on Friday. Hopefully it hasn't worsened over the week cause I went to the track on Friday night then I garaged the car and Saterday morning I had to come back up to college.
