Opinions on tow to best remove tire marks??

Looking for opinions on the best way to remove tire marks.

My 86 is primarily a track car. As it is GP white, it shows every tire mark. Looking for recomendations on what you've successfully used to remove tire marks.

Appreciate your help

A little wax.

When I get home from a long track weekend, I will hit the "marked" areas of my car with an orbital buffer with wax on the pad. The tire marks are all gone within minutes!

A bit of kerosene on a rag works wonders, particularly on tar/bitumen marks.

I'm told WD40 also works well. Never tried it.

Mineral Spirits - totally safe for paint.
