Burnout paint protection
About to get my car out of the body shop for some paint work and was wondering what everyone uses to protect the quarters panels from rubber from burnouts. I always cleaned mine when I was finished at the track but it is a pain in the *** and pretty time consuming plus being hard on the finish. Any ideas?

3M has a clear film you can buy, its used on many cars factory, lower quarter panels and bottom of fenders etc. but you can buy it in on a roll and it comes in different thicknesses so just trim it and stick it on, its even hard to see and will protect your paint job. so you can use alcohol or paint reducer to get the rubber off, you can also try putting carnubawax on it real thick leave it on at the drag strip and most of the rubber will wipe off...

I use Pam on mine. No rubber sticks at all. Only thing is a little bit of brake dust sticks to the Pam but it's not actually on the paint. Afterwords I just power wash it off, throw some quick detail on and it's good as new.
edit: put the Pam on before you go to the track.

I bought a silicone spray from Ace. Works good. Pam works as well as pledge furniture polish. The clear plastic from 3m is a pain. There is a thread where a guy used the mud flaps (for lack of a better word) from a new Z06. looks pretty good

I use this: Geddex - Burnout Guard
You can leave it on as long as you want and the rubber/VHT just wipes off when you wash the car. I have used pam before also but pam stays oily where this stuff dries on and does not rub off.

Just did the painters tape thing for the first time last month. Couple of minutes to put it on and the same to take it off. I don't find it tacky at all, it is what it is, so what's the problem? It's a drag strip thing, not a car show.
