Talking rubber from my tires on my paint

Ok, I might have a new Super Chips flash Paq for my Hemi Magnum and I may have done a really cool burn out or two. Now, if I did do that and had chunks of rubber on my rear panel, how would I get them off?
My lower part of the car wash mit was loaded er, I mean, may have been loaded with the chunks but it did not get them all...

I used plastic razor blades and 3m adhesive remover followed by OCP/white pad on a friend's camaro I did, it came out perfect. The plastic razor blades are espicially helpful in the wheel wells.

Not that I should encourage such behavior , but they make a product called burnout guard, you spray it on and after you light 'em up to your heart's content, all you've gotta do is spray the quarterpanels down with water and the rubber will come right off.

Should work, with agitation (fingernail). AIO might be a better pick.

Use Four Star's Power Punch and if you need some more power a plastic razor blade along with it. That should do the trick.

I usually use wd-40 and an old credit card

but next time just coat the rear quaters in petroleum jelly first
and it will keep the rubber from sticking!
