Best way to remove burnt rubber?
Peel off what you can with your fingers, then wash the car with some good car soap and a bucket (or two) while scrubbing it down with a soapy microfiber wash mitt to pull off some more, then take a claybar to it to remove the rest of the rubber.
OMG! Don't listen to this guy. SERIOUSLY. Brake cleaner is one of the things I have used to strip paint on metal parts!
NEVER USE BRAKE CLEANER ON PAINT, NO MATTER HOW PROTECTED IT MAY BE.

I'm sure that the fingers and clay bar work too but I have always used my fingers to get the worst of it and then sprayed WD40 on it to get the rest. You can let the WD soak into it for a little bit (2-3 min) and it comes right off. I've never seen any ill effects from the WD either - of course I don't let it stay there any longer than I need to - soapy water and a rag afterwards brings the residue right off. Used this method on my two previous trucks and my camaro

Joe Gibbs degreaser is awesome and safe for paint. I have converted a lot of local people that tried it. It is a product I discovered when I was looking for the oil I wanted to use for my 455.
I go through at least a case a year.

Told you I'd have a bunch of haters! If we are talking a factory paint job, it's perfectly fine. I'm not saying to do this every weekend. But once or twice is perfectly fine.
I've done it to tons of vehicles. WD-40 works sometimes too. Honestly I've never seen any ill effects.
But to each his own. I just don't have the paitence to sit and rub with a clay bar for two hours.

Try the Joe Gibbs, trust me. It is a great degreaser too.
Any parts out of the motor, when cleaned with this stuff leaves them bone dry and no slippery feel at all. I get it for less than $5 a can, use it on removing race rubber and before detailing the motor. In the US it must be everywhere, since it is getting pretty common place here in Canada.

Ive used tape in the past. Was told by a few friends about wd-40, they said it works better than anything else they've tried. They did mention waxing afterwards is suggested. I plan on trying it this year
