Until I bought my '06 GT last year, I hadnever owneda car that had enough power to spin the wheels and literally "burn rubber", so I'm new to doing it. Likewise, I'm also new to the process of cleaning up afterward! After getting my CAI and tuner installed a few months ago, I finally decided it was time toenjoymyself a little by lightingup my tires, and after the white smoke had cleared, I felt my rear quarter paneljust behind thetires and noticed the residue of burnt rubberparticlesstuck to my paint. It's been about a month since I did that, and after four thorough washes, I have been completelyunable to remove the grit. I've tried bug and tar removal and it doesn't work, and I don't know what else to try. So,I thoughtI'd ask youfolks...what's the best product and/or method for removing rubber particles stuck to the paint without scratching it? Will a clay bar work? My car is black and I baby it to prevent swirls and scratches, soI'm concerned about "experimenting" andprefer a tried and true method or product that works. Anyone have suggestions?

 

Don't know about clay bar but when I got sideswiped and had black rubber on the paint, liquid carnuba wax, a terry cloth,and a few minutes was all it took to remove it. Don't be afraid to lay into it a bit. The natural lubricants in the liquid carnuba wax will keep it from scratching the paint.

 

go get a clay bar from an auto parts store and use it after you was your car next time might as well do the whole car it will make your paint feel alot smoother but that will take it off with a little work then you will just need to wax it

 

i had got some road paint on m the whole left side of my car i tired clay baring it washing it thorough times nothing owrked, then i went got some laquer thiner form home depot dabbed it on a rag and it came off....but wat u have is not paint so idk mite be worth a shot..

 

I just rub the rubber off the paint and it comes off...

 

If you get alot what I use on my f-150 is tar and bug remover then wait till it gets lose and detail as ussual btw my tuck is white so that stuff works
