I generally don't use the car hard enough to bake it on there, but that's definitely what's happened. I've only done 2 track days, and that's when I was learning a few years back before I bought the BRZ. They were painfully slow paced before I decided it was an awful car to learn with (it's boosted). Otherwise, it's been relegated to 1/2 mile racing so
maybe that's what did it trying to shut it down at the other end? Who knows...gave up on getting them clean a while back.
I'm all ears if anyone has ideas. I had just planned on having them blasted and powdercoated some day. Anyway, different car so...trying to be more careful with the BRZ.

Maybe XP12 is where they sacrificed paint friendliness for performance?
My XP10's have been similarly mild and washes away easily even after being left on through the rain and wet.

I use XP12's on the BRZ now, but I've only used them once so far at Road America. Seem to have washed off fine.
