3M makes a product that you can just stick on and then peel off after your done, they work great. As far as getting it off when its already there I used bug and tar remover.

The inner wheel well is simple... Put on a pair of gloves and scrape away. From the paint, I usually rub off before I leave the track. But that is probably not the best way for the paint.

I have never had a problem using just dawn, however, if you got a good coat of wax, dawn will take it off, but then again if you got a good coat of wax, it should just was off with normal car wash. The inner tire well, use your favorite tire cleaner, just make sure to rinse the overspray off the body, and use a (tire and bug) scrub brush.

WD40 will help but will also strip the wax.

Might give Geddex Burnout Guard a try

Some sponsors who carry it:

I wax before going. If I am short on time I just wax around the wheel wells. Once I get home, windex takes it right off. Then just wax it again! I have never had a problem with rubber on any of my cars after the track.
