another cleaning tip.

Maybe it's been covered but here goes anyway.

Q. What do you use to clean the track prep and rubber off your rear quarter?

Here's what I used. GOJO hand cleaner, the creamy kind, not the gritty. The track "glue" had setup and was difficult to remove with other cleaners such as bug and tar remover. I guess I tried everything except paint remover.
Anyway, I spread a coat of hand cleaner on it, let it sit for a couple of minutes and wiped off. It took three applications to get it all off but it sort off melted the "glue". It took less "elbow grease" than I expected.
It may work for you too.
Of course the best thing to do is prevent the mess in the first place.

I met a guy who says he puts Vaseline on his body before racing. He said it keeps the rubber and the stick-um loose and and easy to wipe off. I don't know how common this is, but I'm sure I'll hear about it if it's a lousy idea.

Just for Frank...He puts Vaseline on his quarter panels..

 

Not a bad idea at all, Terry.

I spray a light coat on the rear fender wells and the back of the fender with 10-W40 to prevent it from sticking and also use it to remove it.

I didn't realize the Heloise lived in Texas and drove a canary yellow...

Nevermind.

i don't see what this "he puts Vaseline on his body before racing. He said it keeps the rubber and the stick-um loose and and easy to wipe off". has to do with the "quarters on a race car"

... ...

 

makes sense

I'm sorry Jerry. I'm such a sweet and innocent person that I didn't realize what I was writing could be construed as weird and perverted.
