After a track session you often see rubber marks left on the lower part of rocker panel and behind rear wheel.

How do you usually remove this on regular paint and/or on clear shield cover?

This product by 3M works great for clear bras:

Use as directed, very simple and easy. Please be gentle, scuffing a clear bra is not hard to do so take your time. It would also be very beneficial to put a quality sealant on your clear bra such as Zaino or Rejex to make cleaning much easier for next time.

One of the best clear coat safe tar removers is made by Gunk and will work great on painted surfaces, including inner wheel barrels. Spray and let soak for a couple of minutes, wipe off, and repeat if necessary. Will not soften or yellow the clear coat like Stoner's Tarminator or Goo-Gone:

Again, putting on a nice sealant afterward will make clean up easier for next time. Both products can be found on Amazon.com (Gunk Tar Remover may have different label) and usually you can find the 3M Plastic Polish at Autozone. :thumbsup
 
I've been using WD 40 to clean off the painted surfaces, and there are also spray application products to use before tracking, but I have not given those a chance, yet.

you can also use blue tape to protect that area!
 
zaino before and after seems to do a good job. If it's a really tough spot I've used as Jason posted 3m plastic cleaner.
 
x2 on WD40. I used it on my race call all the time..
 
3x w40
 
Thank you very much for all the answers. My reason for asking was because I raced my 65 Mustang with a new type of tires and for some rason, they threw al lot more rubber onto the paint than usual. It´s pretty impressive that the rubber get so hot and soft that it can leave marks looking like it was almost painted on.

I don´t know if we have the 3M stuff here but I´ll ask around. The WD40 I´ll try right away.

The best way to not see the rubber marks is to have a black car!

Dark blue works well too. White is the worst for rubber marks! :biggrin
