stuck rubber after burnouts

What do you guys use to keep the rubber from sticking to your quarter panels after burnouts at the track...at least something that would make it easier to clean?

Put a coat of wax or heavy polish on the quarter panel, and don't buff it off. Or get a spray can of Geddex "Burnout Guard".

Re: stuck rubber after burnouts

You may have a little problem getting the wax off if it bakes in the sun for a while. If it's at night, no problem.

I've never used the Geddex, but I hear it works good. I use Honda Spray Cleaner & Polish, which I get at a Honda motorcycle shop. I spray it on the quarter panels liberally and don't wipe it off. When you're finished racing the rubber just washes off with a little soap and water. At ~$6.00 for a 14 oz. can I think it's a little cheaper than the Geddex.

I know a couple of guys who just use masking tape. Seems to work for them.
