Default rear panel covered in racing crap

i'm sorry if this subject is a repost, but i have crap all over my rear-quarter panel, for the longest tiem i couldn't figure out for the life of what it was , until i saw someone else race my car and figured out it was melted tire and water from the track being flung up on it. its impossibel to get all the way off, i found some stuff to keep it from gettting on there after i get it off to begin with, but i can't find anything to get it off, ive used alot of diffrent stuff , but nothing seems to work , okay outline cos i know i wouldnt read this ramble

*** has anyone found a sure fire way to get burnt off rubber from the tires off the rear off the car without stripping the paint?***

First, a few coats of Zaino on the car helps!

Second... use Burnout guard beforehand, stuff really works.

But if you don't.... this is was I do...

Wait a day or two for the rubber to dry up.
Yes, it sounds crazy, but it comes off so much easier then.
Dump a capful of carwash into a 12-16oz spary bottle and fill with water.
Drench the rubber coated areas with that.
Should wipe off rather easily then.

Works for me every time!

thank you all for your suggestions but, none of these have worked, as soon as i get it off, i;m gonna put that protective crap on there so it wont happen AGAIN, but i have used bug and tar, and a bunch of stuff like that , im thinking i may of let it go for to long, and im not sure exactly what you mena by "claybar" is this literally a bar of clay or a product? but i really do appreciate that you guys took your time trying to help, i guess ill wait a few more hours to see if anyone has something else to suggest and ill break out the wd40 and if that doesnt work , it looks like im paying to have it detailed..
