Its not a cleaner, its just some greasy tire dressing stuff. Spray it on before you hit the track and the rubber just falls off. Armor-all would probably do the same thing but this is a real fine spray paint like mist and a can lasts me a long time. It doesnt take off the wax either and washes off pretty easy after you wipe the rubber off. I just get it at a local parts store.

I have been drag racing racing for 25+ years, this is the easiest way to go I found so far and doesnt hurt the paint at all. Have to be carefull when wiping the rubber off so you dont grind something into the paint but you really dont have to wipe hard, rubber just falls right off. It does leave a greasy film behind but regular car soap gets it right off.

I've experienced the same thing on both my cars! Takes rubbing compound or a really good cleaner wax to get off the damn stains, and the Formula still has some from 3 years ago!

I've been using Simple Green cleaner after the races, and it works pretty well.

I'll have to try the Duragloss method, thanks Kevin!

Of course there's always the easiest way = gasoline and a rag!

I remember when I was kid using kerosene (or sometimes gasoline) and a garden sprayer to clean the rubber off the inner body of a local funny car - thats where I developed an aversion to slick rubber lol, imagine being covererd from head to toe with kerosene and chunks of melted gooey rubber on a 95 degree day..

That was probably baby oil

Somehow I can imagine this. I usually get lazy and don't clean the rubber off the nova for 2-3 month period. After I'm done my hands are stained black for days.
