As I was washing my car yesterday I noticed there was this hard glue-like substance on the fenders. It is pretty hard to get out but dont want to marr my paint more. Is there any products for this?

tar remover should do the trick. Goo Gone will also work.

I get sap like that in drops a good bit. I use 3M Tar & Adhesive Remover. Several sprays and wipes on dried sap will get it off.

When they put the numbers on your car, I cleaned it off real quick with some winshield cleaner at night and I checked today and a little bit of the white paint is on my paint and on moldings for windows. :(

I bought turtle wax tar remover(black spray bottle) and meg scratch x in the black tube. What a comeple waste of money on these products. :(

The tar remover literally got stuck to paint and I used alot of it to so that might of been reason and Meg scratch x really doesnt do anything with my black car. I got the glue-like stuff out but caused scratches. This is last time I will buy a black car.

Keep in mind this was my 1st time...

1st run = 24.788 I just gave up I was spinning tires all the way through 1/2/3 gear and just threw it in 5th

2nd run = 16.1 but my 60ft time was a 2.555



If i got a 2.2 60 ft I would of got a 15.5 which isnt bad for a stock GSR. For every .1 off your 60ft is .2 off your e-t. I need to work on my launching also with my stock junk tires. :)

Michelins stock tires suck COJONES. you might want to try Goo Gone or 3M bug and tar remover.
