Default Burnt rubber

Blah...the only downside of my extremely wide tires (275 in the front, 315 in the rear). After just one run at the strip, i have burnt rubber all over my fenders, side scoop, and even on my rear bumper. It doesnt scrub out with my shammy when i wash it regularly, and no spray has yet to take it off. Considering it was my one run at the strip, and it was just for giggles, I'm reletively aggrivated. It was bought as a half-show car, not taking into consideration one simple run at the strip, and now i have a bad-looking body. Even while driving regularly, it occumulates because of the wide tires. Any suggestions on removing the burnt rubber?

WD-40 works good to remove tar. I had tar on my fenders and that got it off. IDK if it will do the same for burnt rubber but its worth a try....
