track debris - how to get it off? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

After tracking the car I always get rubber marks on it from the tires. Claying usually takes care of it but its time consuming.
Anyone else had any luck with something else?

Liquid car wax will take it off with very little effort. After buffing the dried wax you're back to good again

Next time spray area with WD-40 or PAM before you go.........

I cant use any oils or waxes as my race car is matte vinyl.
So I clean off the black rubber marks with 50/50 isopropyl alcohol & filtered water in a spray bottle.
Its pretty much the same as "detail spray" but without the oils (and cheaper).

I use Mothers R3, it works great: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Mothers-09224-Racing-Rubber-Remover/dp/B005R5WGCS"]Amazon.com: Mothers 09224 R3 Racing Rubber Remover - 24 oz.: Automotive[/ame]

It's magical. Apply, wait 10-15 secs, wipe it off.

Just sayin -

I usually use Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover and that works well. Just spray, let it soak, and wipe off.

Meguiars quick detailer is ok too, but takes a little more effort.

if mine dont come off with elbow grease while washing, they just stay on. im lazy i guess. also, @juliog can i see a pic of that rear wing up close??

Wax parts that get dirty real bad a day before. That same day, i spray the wax quick detailer generously but dont smear it good. Kinda let it dry. (Usually just front bumper)

This is what i do when driving long morning commutes, so then i can wipe the huge @ss bugs effortlessly. Might help?

Personally I use the OWS Miracle Concourse Refinisher, since I got it cheap at some auto parts store awhile back. A little spray with a little elbow grease and it's gone!

R3 works great

Another vote for Mothers R3

Before events, I try to wash/wax/rewax.
After events, I try to remove as much as possible without using R3 (i.e. a regular wash), and use R3 for anything left over.

after my track day, I spent like 10 minutes scrubbing the rubber off my front bumper and side panels with a microfiber mitt and soap while washing my car. I got most of them off, but there were some that wouldn't come off. but its track scars, which builds street cred, right?
