Used the painters tape this weekend and it worked great! Forgot to put some tape on the inner fender wells and got a little rubber there. What is the best way to get rid of that without harming the paint?

Everyone hear locally takes great pride in the way their cars looks. Like I said, different folks and different strokes.

if you use pledge or anything like that make sure you dont let it sit there for days. It leave a film thats hard to get off. I've done it out of lazyness a few times. Now i just dont put anything on it, clean with some stoner bug and tar remover and a plastic razorblade

x2 on the tape. We always spot the noobs and rookies by the tape on the rear quarter. Sometimes I forget to put pam or silicone on mine. Couple days later I spray the area with a strong degreaser (dilluted motor degreaser) followed by simple green and wipe/rinse it off. Its a hella mess on the driveway though.

I tried spraying some PAM cooking spray on the car when I hit the track last week. I did it before anything was on there and it was still alot of work to get the rubber off. It melted the rubber and it smeared when I wiped it off. It may have been just a tiny bit easier but in reality as stated in this thread already bug and tar remover along with some elbow grease and time.

When I used pam I had the same experience. The Giddex Burnout Guard does not melt the rubber. It doesn't hose off like the bottle says but it does just wipe right off with the wash mit. I ruined a wash mit with pam when the melted rubber got all in the fibers. With Giddex, no problems.

I used the Rejex like some suggested earlier. 9 passes on Fri night and 6 passes saturday. Didn't touch the car till Sunday. Took a spray bottle with water and sprayed it down...then wiped off with a blue shop towel. Wiped right up! left no streaky rubber marks...Rejex did what it said it would do- I'm sold!

I dont use anything, just clean it off with some Mothers showtime when I go home. It has never ever really been a problem to get off. I also wax my car alot, so maybe that helps. Most of it just wipes of by hand.
PS My car also stays very clean at the track, california car duster, showtime and a micro fiber towel works for me and takes 2 min.
