Default Burning rubber

The past couple days I've laid a few black marks with my 06 GT. Then, when I went to wash it, it had rubber all over behind the rear tires and it wouldn't wash off. What can I use to take this off that won't hurt the paint?

a little elbow grease. its real cheap.

you can either try to use a wet towel to rub it off, or if that doesn't work, use a cleaner wax. u really gotta rub it in, and when ur buffing it out, use elbow grease as well. turtle wax works really well in this case; i used it to get black rubber marks off my dad's car.

FORD makes a very nice, body fitting hard plastic stone shield. I put em on mine before it left the lot. Some ppl like em some don't, but, they will save you aggrevation.

I use bug and tar remover and a little elbo grease! LOL. Most will knock off the inner fender well with a brush then soak it down with the bug/tar remover then hit it with one of those bug sponges with the mesh on it, then wash with your favorite car wash soap and viola, it will be squeeky clean...I'm getting use to it by now, I'm on my second set of tires in less than 1000 miles .

Nice to meet you fellow Mustang owner/Chiefs fan! My son and I usually go to a couple games per year and have a great time. Unfortunately the Philly game was one of those last year. If you ever have tix let me know where they're at and what you need for them and I'll let you know. Thanks

Ford sells molded mud flaps for the cars. Like above, some like'em some dont.

I just dont want the paint damaged behind the rear wheels.
