I taped off the back bumper once, looked kind of gay since I was using blue painters tape on a red car. Haven't done it since.

I think STK uses some kind of clear adhesive plastic, might try that out.

Getting all the rubber off my bumper is the biggest PITA!

Also heard spraying Pam helps, but I've never tried it.

Seen other people use painters tape too. FWIW I've seen a lot of cars at the track that didn't look very good but hauled ass.

I have used Stoner's Tar/somethingelse remover spray for AFTER the track, and it worked nicely.

You could just tape the tires instead, that way no pieces of rubber should ever splatter onto the QP/bumper.

I'd like to see how well the PAM will keep the rubber **** off, though.

Just take your rear quarter panels off.

blue painter's tape... who cares if you look like an ass as long as you can keep your paint looking great and toss around some rice burners while you're at it

18" X 50' Roll - works great, lay in on and peel it off, car is as clean as a whistle!

You can never have too much power, just not enough traction.

^ I like his idea. I have also seen guys use car wax, don't know how well that works though.
