E/T Drags rubber removal
E/T Drags rubber removal I've got a shitload of rubber all around my wheelwells and just about everywhere (including the windshield!) on my car.
What works very well (and safely) to remove said rubber???
Re: E/T Drags rubber removal Sounds like you have a mess on your hands. It's always a good idea to spray some Pledge furniture polish in the wheel wells before you go to the track, it will keep the rubber from sticking to it. You can also spray it behind the wheel on the fender, it won't hurt the paint. When your done racing take it to the car wash and blast it off with the pressure washer....comes right off. If there is still some on the paint WD-40 works good for getting it off or you could use some clay bar with detail spray.

Re: E/T Drags rubber removal Get some Geddex burn out guard.

Its $8.99 from Thunder Racing, its safe on the paint. You can take a rag and just wipe away the rubber from your slicks, it will literally fall right off.

Re: E/T Drags rubber removal Buddy of mine puts a thick coat of wax on his rear fenders before he really gets after it with the slicks. His car is SOM and you can see the large white area on his back fenders, wipes right off.

Re: E/T Drags rubber removal That looks more like the water from the burn out box. Wash that off and use WD-40 on the rubber left behind. Spray it on and let it soak. Use a rag and wipe it off. If it keeps smearing, spray some Purple Power and use a clean spomge with water. It will take the wax off your car as well but it will be clean. Just put a coat of wax on after you are done. Pledge works well before the race as well as Burnout guard but the pledge is cheaper. ET Drags aren't nearly as bad as ET Streets or Drag Radials as far as clean up.

Re: E/T Drags rubber removal
Skin so Soft takes it right off. Avon has it. It's the best I've tried yet.
JFM, Throw the rubber out the window a little further?? YUK lol
Re: E/T Drags rubber removal I just cleaned up my car today. I presoaked the rubber down with WD-40 and it wipes right off. Spray a little more on a clean rag to get the rest of the residue.

Re: E/T Drags rubber removal Ok first of all, you are doing your burnout all wrong.
#1 Rule of the burnout box. If you have street tires, STAY THE **** OUT OF THE BURNOUT BOX!!!!!!
If you can't do a dry burnout on street tires, then you don't need to do one at all. All you want to do is clean them off anyway. You shouldn't see alot of smoke with street tires. If you do, then you did too big of a burnout. (My best stock 60ft is 1.89. NEVER been over a 2.05.)
That's not rubber, that's dirty water that's all over your car.
When you go into the water with street tires, your tread pciks up alot of water. You spin the tires and throw that water into your wheel wells. You then pull to the line with all that water dripping behind you all the way to the line and then down the track. That makes it hard for the guy behind you to get decent traction, not to mention being a wet track being EXTREMELY dangerous to slick tire cars.
I can't believe I'm the first one to pipe up about this.
EDIT: Ok, I just looked at your times and obviously you aren't racing with your street tires.
Looks like you spin your tires in the water. No need for that, all it does is throw it into your wheelwell, which drips back down onto your freshly cleaned tire.
