Race Rubber Remover

2011 Nismo#91 · 11-14-2016, 09:32 AM

Didn't see anyone post about this so for the next person that searches this site. I recently did 2 track day weekends almost back to back and I had accumulated a substantial amount of rubber marks all over my Z. I didn't think these products would be as effective as they were. Originally I tried just regular cleaners and they had no effect so I tried the Mothers one, got decent reviews, and literally in a few seconds of soaking the marks just wiped right off with no effort. Maybe this is more appropriate in the detailing section but I figured most people there would never encounter this issue.

I've used Mothers and a few others with about the same results.

Wait until you have to remove tire chunks from the intercooler/radiator/oil cooler.

Why not wash the car and tape it up? I have used carpet defender which you can buy at the local home remodel stores. It comes is a 18'' or so wide x25' or many50' roll for ~$9. You wash to get rid of possible dirt rubbing and marring the car. The clear defender will protect the car and peel off easy enough. It's decently thick stuff so it will reduce rock chips too.
