Went to the track last night and have lots of rubber from my burnouts on my bumper, I washed the car and couldnt get the rubber off. What do u guy reccomend using?
I was thinking gasoline but dont think that would be good for the paint.

Bug and Tar remover, and some Goo-Gone. Then, claybar the area, dawn wash it, and re-wax.

I've used "ultra fine grit" 3M polisher when someone rubbed bumpers with me and left both paint and rubber on my bumper. It worked real well but you have to take your time and do it slowly.

Bug and tar remover.

Spray it on, let it soak.
