Interior Exterior
Q:
After tracking my car, there's a bunch of tire rubber on the car's exterior that's proving difficult to get off. Most of it is on the Starshield in front of the rear wheel wells. Any suggestions for removing the tire clag? I've used P21S Total Auto Wash (a bug and tar remover) with lots of elbow grease, but there's still some black stuff on there. Thanks in advance.
A:
I don't know how it would react with the Starshield, but 3M's adhesive remover works great to get track rubber off.

Use Goof Off, then re-wax the areas. Black marks come right off with no harm to the starshield.

Tarminator by Stoner. Available at many auto parts stores. Works great for me and seems safe for Starshield. Spray on soft towel and lightly rub.

OK, thanks!

Try "Goof Off 2" it's a water based solvent much less harsh than the original oil based "Goof Off" and works great. I just finished my first track day and despite liberal amounts of blue painter tape I had track rash all over the place. It made me a little nervous until I started removing it with the Goof Off 2, it wiped right off with little to no rubbing involved. I washed the areas imediately afterwards just to make sure I got any risidual solvent off the Starshield and Paint. It works great.
A:
Klasse All-in-One removed stubborn marks with no effort.
I'm not putting Goof Off anywhere near my car.
Others have recommended Turtle Wax tar remover.
A:
Good to know about the Klasse all in one, I'll check that out. I agree that standard "Goof Off" is really harsh but the "Goof Off 2" is a water based citrus solvent that seems much milder. I still wanted to make sure that I washed the car imediately after applying it, seems fine.
