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

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.
