Default Protect paint from burnouts

I'm just curious as to what you guys use to protect your paint from all the rubber deposits after doing a nice burnout. I think I saw in summit awhile ago a product that you spray on before you burnout to keep the rubber from sticking. But I can't find that product anymore, anyone know what it is called or any other similar products. Just want to keep my paint nice. Thanks

Geddex Burnout Guard. I believe a few of the sponsors carry it, but if not Jegs has it for sure.

later,

Personally, I've found that keeping a fresh coat of Zaino on the rear bumper works best. I tried the Geddex burnout guard for awhile last year and didn't really care for it.

I just let the rubber dry for a few days, then slowly but surely wipe it all off, I usually apply lots of zanio to that area before I head to the track...

Thanks a lot guys for all of the help. I just went to the track with a ton of zaino on the car and still felt like the rubber was sticking too much. I just purchased the greddex can't waint to see how it works. Thanks

I used geddex for quite awhile but since I tried Pledge, I would not even consider geddex. Pledge works awesome and it's totally harmless. Well at least for the last 3 years it hasn't led to any damage.

Some people stick duct/electrical tape to their inner/outer fenders and it peels off rather easily not leaving any residue/stickiness. The first person I saw do it was SW on his 9 sec C5.

Yeah, WD40-pain to clean off, but protective. PAM-works good, easier to clean. PLEDGE-just as good as the other two, easiest to clean and smells good too.

just apply wax and dont buff it off till your done racing, rubber does not stick to it at all.
