Just like the title says. I'm assuming it's the crap that was painted on the new road right by the pool hall that I play at. I've already tried pressure washing it off. That doesn't work. Will APC+ take it off if I dilute it for the tire ratio and scrub??? I wasn't too sure about putting goof-off or anything like that on my tires yet. Also, it's on my paint too. But hopefully, some clay will take that off.



Unfortunately, it's been raining on all my days off from work/school. I was gonna tackle it today, but it's starting to sprinkle and that leads to rain, so I can't exactly start right now. Here's the pic.



*Sorry for the crappy quality pics. I'm using an old 2mp sony.:o

That rubber looks so dry it is thirsty for something like 303. I'd treat it normally with a tire dressing, maybe use a brush with some pressure and the paint will open up little cracks and gradually flake off.



Just be grateful none got on your paint!
 
I'd try the APC+ with a good stiff nylon brush. It may take several attempts, but you should be able to make the paint go away. Just out of curiousity, what type of car is that?
 
Why can't you use 3M tar remover? I think it will break down the paint and also remove it from your under-skirt.
 
Regardless of how you get the paint off, I'm a big advocate of 303. Here's what it did to a set of tires which had been in a guy's basement for 3 years.

My front tire rubbed up against a freshly painted (yellow) curb, and I had a lot more paint on my tire than what's shown in your picture. It all wore off in a week. I wouldn't worry about it.
