Body grinder with 36 grit disk?

Try a little paint thinner (mineral spirits) to see if it hurts the paint. If you pick of the big boogers, bug and tar remover might work. You'll need to rewax at least.

Oh, yeah, bikini wax might also work.

Try to put some wax on your car where the rubber is next time at the track. It might look kind of stupid but it will come off really easy next time!!

Try a clay bar.

The look of rubber hanging off my fenders has never really bothered me much... But I would think a clay bar would work well.. I have also heard of the bug/tar remover doing a pretty good job too.

Bug and Tar remover is excellent for this, as well as removing duct tape goo, etc.

Get two hooters girls in a sunny day, sit back, and watch how it come off all by itself!

I agree, Bug and Tar remover works graet.

I have used WD40 with success as well.
