Is there a product out there, or something you guys use on the back bumper behind the rear wheels that makes the rubber not stick to it? Or makes it easier to take off all the tire rubber after the burnout box?

A couple years ago after a few track runs with the slicks, it took me 2+ hours cleaning off all the rubber. Any suggestions? WD-40 maybe?

 

tire shine....or spray wax.......

I used to use that stuff, don't care anymore.......with the tire shine it didn't even stick.

 

There's a product called burnout guard. You wash the car then put a couple of coats of this on and the rubber sticks to the coating which washes off with soap and water very easily.

 

Where can I get this burnout guard?

 

You could get some clear static-cling vinyl. My mom used to have it at the sign supply shop she worked at. It would be something like the windshield tear-offs that the NASCAR guys use.

 

Vaseline works too.

 

Searched google and found some places.

Are there any auto stores that carry burnout guard locally?

Thanks,

 

This may sound strange, but has anyone tried syran wrap?

 

Spray the fenders with WD40 before racing. At the end of the day, wipe the rubber off. WD40 has been used by drag racers for years.

 

I know a guy who simply used masking tape before he put it on the track. He has a show quality car and commented that h had tried burnout guard, wd-40, extra wax, duct tape, vaseline, and all kinds of crap and the most simple way he found was to just use regular cheap masking tape because it didn't seem to damage the paint and was just as effective as the other stuff and less hassle.

I have no firsthand experience as I'm the guy who peels half an inch of rubber out of the wheelwells every spring so pieces don't fall on the track.

 

You can also use "Pam" non-stick cooking spray (works great). It is your choice if you use the original, or butter flavor. Just don't get it on your slicks!

The masking tape doesn't sound like a bad idea. It is similar to the syran wrap idea I through out there. Syran wrap would be easier on the car to take off, however I don't know how well it would cling after it had gobbs of tire stuck to it.

Either way, I would rather have something I could peel off simply afterwards, then have to wipe off and then get off all the oil or grease from WD-40, or PAM, or something else to spray on the back bumper.

Other ideas are welcomed!

 

Some small mud flaps can do wonders.

 

, no thanks

 

you can use the ones with the naked ladies on them, like the truckers.

rubber on the quarters is like a battle scar, wear it with pride.
