Burnout results Well went to the track tonight and it was really cold so I smoked the tires pretty good to get them hot. Well this morning come outside to see bits of tire all over the car behind the tire. I got most of it off but some of it is caked on good. Is there anything I can use to get it off? Maybe tar removal? Any help would be great.

WD-40 will take it off,but you will go through a few rags. Next time before you do a burn-out spray some Pledge furiture polish in the wheel wells and around the outside of the fender. When your done take it the car wash and it sprays right off. A good coat of wax also helps. I have tried different things and that seems to work the best for me.

also, before you do burnouts
you can try Vasoline
Ive rubbed it all over the areas behind the tires, and just spray it off the next day with a hose
ta12sec's suggestion will work just as well

If it's a factory finish clear coat, you can use lacquer thinner. but if it's been repainted, DONT, you also might try a bit in an unexposed part of the car just to test this first,. but it does work.

WD 40 works, only thing that sucks is that is turns it into a drippy mess that will stain the ground so make sure you put some newspaper or shitty towels down when doing it.
I've found that Simple Green degreaser does the job without making the gooey mess that stains.

Silver, I just spray it on a rag and wipe, trouble is that you go through alot of rags. The burnout gaurd they sell is what I found to be a big drippy mess,I don't like that stuff at all. The Pledge furniture polish has worked the best for me so far.......I imagine Pam cooking spray would work also but never tried it.

My bumper from the wheel well back has no clearcoat left on it anymore..been that way for a couple years now, I've never used anything to clean the rubber off that would eat it away, I think its just from so many times of having hot rubber and what not thrown at it, prolly ate the clearcoat off.
my car is getting totally repainted this month so I am going to have to try some of these ideas in this thread from here on out to keep it from happening again to me.
