I have an excessive amount of rubber on my car (rear fender wells, etc.) from my last trip to the track <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I have gotten a lot of it off, but there is still a lot left that won't come off and I was wondering what you guys typiclaly do to get it off...

Thanks,

Joe

When its clean and you decide to go to the track again, just spray a little pledge back there and the rubber won't stick and its so much easier to clean afterwards.

next time you go, put a little vasoline on the rear fender areas where you get junk,,,, when you are done racing use yer old torn up mustang Tee to wipe it right off <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

All those are great suggestions, but he needs to know how to get what's on there off first before he can prep it for next time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Warm, soapy water takes off the majority. From there I clay bar the heck out of it.

There is a product from 3M called 3M wax and adhesive or tar remover.Comes in a can like brasso.Will not hurt the paint a bit and takes heavy road tar and rubber off very easy.The lower part of my car was covered in tar and this stuff was a savior.

Although my incident was actually with kerosene. I accidently did this once and was freaking out. That was until I realized my front end was completely spotless afterwords. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

What happened was that I moving my portable garage heater (those torpedo style) from where I had it stored in front of the car, out to the middle of the garage where I could use it. In the process of moving it, I tipped it enough that a bunch of kerosene came out the cap of the heater and pouring all over the nose cone of my Camaro. Naturally I went into a frenzy. Scrounging up rags and warm soapy water, I started wiping off the excess kerosene from the nose. I made a stark discovery that all the dead bug collection as well as oil, grease and whatever else gets caught on the front of a car came off. The nose cone was literally "sterile" it was soo clean. I then proceeded to use the warm soapy water to get the remaining haze from the kerosene off and then re-waxed, re-glazed, and re-polished the nose.

I couldn't be more pleased with the results! Because of this, I sometimes get a rag soaked in kerosene to clean off the excess rubber on my kicker panels if it doesn't come off with warm soapy water and/or clay bar.
