$20 to one of my children used to work well when they were younger. Now they all have part time jobs and won't take that deal anymore.

R3 or whatever - works like a charm - just give it a bit to soak

Thanks for the tips on the R3. I bought a bottle, and it works great. I've tried some of the other recommendations in the past, but never had any luck with them. The only "drawback" I've found to the R3 (if you can call it that) is that it will strip the wax off with the rubber, so you'll need to wax the car afterward.

Have you ever been close enough behind another car to be hit by rubber?

Very funny, A-H. Have you ever watched Miatas race? Bump drafting lap after lap.

When a turtle runs into the back of a turtle, are they delusional enough to call it drafting?
