Removing tire rubber?

[Pathogen]

Everytime I take this thing to the track I say I'm going to put a heavy coat of wax on the rear bumper... or I'm going to coat the thing in painter's tape... and I never do. (grrrrrrr at me)

Anyone have a good way to remove this stuff? I'm ready to take a putty knife to it! AArrrrrrgggg!

(Yes, I know they also sell a "burnout guard" to prevent the stuff from building up... )

Will post pictures of the beast after I'm done with it today.

I brought out a clay bar ... which promptly ran away screaming.

Ended up using a plastic scrapper inside the tire wheel wells and (ouch) a lacquer thinner and towel on the bumper/fender.

I'd like to report no damage to the paint and I have a roll of painter’s tape in the consol.

Keep the panels waxed very well. Apply burnout guard, Pam, WD-40 or about anything so it will come off. I have also seen them taped, covered with saran-wrap, etc.

I use paper towels and brakekleen. Likely not the best, but it is very tough to clean up.

I did an extremely long burnout at the new Weld Wheels facility after one of the races and my fenders looked like they had been undercoated. Took about 2 hours to get it off. Use a plastic scraper and tons of elbow grease.

You can try sprying some tire-shine or baby oil on the rears of the quarters before you run... I know a bunch of off road guys that spray thier whole jeeps with that to keep the mud from getting stuck. If that's not gonna fly, then I would just wax 'em down good, and then get some bug and tar remover, wash, rinse, repeat.

I keep mine well waxed, and wash it as soon as possible after racing. Sometimes just takes some elbow grease and a cotton wash cloth. I just use Meguires car wash.

Kind of a wimpy burn out pic.

How the rubber got there ... lol
I'm still waiting for the final print, but here's the proof.
