Best Way to Remove Rubber off of a Rear Quarter Panel

Both of my brother's have cars set up for drag racing. Occasionally we'll do car shows together and they help me wrench on my car pretty much whenever I ask them to. Yay no labor charges. So I'm going to return the favor by cleaning up their race cars. What's the best way to get rubber off of the rear quarter panels? I did a little bit of searching, but couldn't find an answer. Now, with my luck I'll have more of their racing buddies asking for detail work, but it's going to cost them.

Here's what they race:

The Nova actually beat my car in a car show we did together. :2thumbs:
 
I would also like to know the answer to this. I have a car that had a tire blow out and the rubber shredded/melted and adhered to the rear quarter.



I have a feeling that claying might do it...but you might be going through a lot of clay. Maybe some sort of solvent cleaner and a re-wax of the area would work out better.

What I have done in the past was either use -

blue painters tape or

fresh wax on that area or

spray pam no stick and wipe off when done
 
OH my car looks great. It's just these guys with a crapton of HP and little regard for how the rubber looks when it comes time to do a show together.

The old CC and WD-40 sounds like it will work great.
 
I have had good results with using Stoners Tarminator. I'm sure a good quality bug and tar remover could make quick work of it. Or you could get some Body Solvent from a local Auto Paint Supply store.
