    What do you guys use to get it off?
    I remember a post about using WAX or POLISH, but I cannot remember which one.
    Also, is there anything else out there that has worked for you?
    Thanks, John.

    I use Burnout Guard. Spray it on before a race and afterwards just wash it off. My local speed shop carries it...

    Before I head out I use whatever type of oily spray is available to me at the time: WD40, PAM, Silicone Spray, Armorall, etc.

    Try WD-40. That stuff will do darn near anything. A friend sent me a website address for WD-40 and there must be a list of thousands of things you can do with this stuff. If it can get chewing gum out of carpeting, it should be able to remove rubber from your quater panels.

    Okay, I know I am old but I always used vaseline. Never even thought about more modern stuff, just always used the vaseline since first learning about it in the 70's from a racing buddy.

    Pam before and Crisco to get it clean. Doesn't seem to bother the paint at all.

    agree with vaseline, saw a guy last time out who had cardboard spraybombed the same color as his car and taped on just pulls it off at the end of the day. couldn't tell from the stands.

    you can also use any type of car wax just coat the quarter panel before the race and leave it on ,at the end of the day just rub it off it works great!
