Hi there,

Can anyone recommend a good product to get rid of rubber marks on the body work after a serious track session.

Using Bilberry juice on the wheel to get monster brake dust off and autoglym for windscreen, general cleaning which seems to work well.

As you can imagine it's no show car, but I like to at least try and keep it decent looking!

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Just use a solvent.

Don't use a brake dust/wheel cleaner.

Virtually any tar/glue remover or solvent would work. Some will be nicer to use/quicker to use/more effective/cheaper than others. But all will work.

...but is probably the strongest product of this type. Exercise caution if you have cellulose paint and note that waxes/sealants will most likely be instantly removed.

We use it as a panelwipe wink

We rub the race cars down with a bit of unleaded. Works a treat
