Does anyone have a good recommendation for something to use to remove rubber tire schmears from my paint? I have a number of marks I'd like to get off, and am not sure what to use.
I thought it had been mentioned before, but I tried searching and didn't have any luck.

Ive found Quick Shine 99 to work well. Quickshine99.us Roger M. also sells it.

I think it was Scott B. that turned me on to FastWax. Its an aerosol product, and contains something that helps break down rubber marks very well. And in the process, it leaves a nice, clean (waxed) finish. I still have some stock (I probably need to order some more soon.....) if you want to stop by and give it a try.
This is what I've been using: http://rjbrownsoriginalfastwax.ca/questions.html Although I don't recall paying that much for it. IIRC, someone may have been acting as the middleman, and I picked up a case at a track event. Scott, do you recall??? There's something out there now called FW1 (available Amazon, Walmart, etc) but not sure if its the same product.

+1 for quicshine 99. besides, if Eric S uses it, it must be good.

I use the Quicshine as well. Have been happy with it but haven't tried the R3.

Mineral spirits works well on a clear bra. Windex works great on the paint but if a wax works as well I should probably switch to that.

i just use regular car wash stuff. zymol, meguires, whatever. comes right off when washing the rest of the car.
or for cleanup at the track, i just use whatever bottle of dry wash/quick detailer stuff is in the trailer. they all seem to work fine.
