Next time you go to the track spray wd40 on the quarter panel. It won't hurt the paint and the vht will wipe off.

I have used a thin coat of vasaline, but have heard about wd40 too. I guess it would be a little easier to apply than vasaline. oh well whatever floats your boat.

Did you get VHT or rubber on the car.

Alchol is used to cut vht while if its rubber you can use plain old ice a lot of times (same trick for gum),

wd40 can be bad the clearcoat if I remember correctly, 3m sells clear strips that you put at the back of the rear well to avoid this also.

Don't put it on your tires and do burnouts.

Holla!
