Removing rubber marks from paint after track event?
 

What should I use to get the rubber marks off of my paint after my track event this weekend. I washed the car but that wasn't enough to get the rubber streaks off the front of my car.

Thanks

I use 3 strengths on my white car for tire marks...

1. Goo Gone works for the easy ones...
2. If they still won't come out, 3M adhesive remover...
3. Once a year I use a cleaner wax with a buffer to get the stubborn ones.

a small amount of WD-40 on a soft towel will do the trick. Be sure to degrease the surface you just cleaned and then wax the area.

How do you get rubber marks on your paint from a track event? (I've never been a track event before)

Thanks

Stanley,

As tires scrub off, the rubber sort of collects in the "dead" areas of the track and turn into marble sized chunks of rubber. THose chunks or "marbles" get kicked up by cars and bounce off the cars behind them leaving little greasy rubber streaks... Mostly don't harm the paint unless they have a lot of grit in them...

Naptha is what I use to get all the rubber marks that build up on the corners of the slot car track ,works very well and doesn't bother the paint

I use Mothers Cleaner Wax. It is the safest on your paint.Wurth Makes a product that is very good. Safety-Solve.

Bug and tar remover works good for me.
Goo gone will works most of the time.
Put a heavy coat of wax on the area you
get the marks, keeps it from sticking so bad.

If you have plenty of wax already on the car then... a little Paint Thinner (Mineral Sprits) on a damp paper towel just before washing does the trick for me.
