ad3adman Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 hey.. so, my minty fresh Miata has a boat load of tire rubber marks on it. I have found that WD-40 works pretty good for removing them but i wanted to know what everyone else uses. also, mine is a wrap, not paint, so i cannot use solvents that are too hot. let me know what you think. thanks!!

X10. I've been using it for a few years. Last year, we blew a trailer tire on the way to the VIR24. It de-laminated and whipped up onto 3 of the panels on the trailer. R3 cleaned all of the rubber of the panels. I only had to replace a single panel that was damaged through the outer finish. It's really good stuff.

Zauskycop Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 If you can get some (I got a case and not giving any away!)

Ian Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Citrol. The only thing Ive found that takes Track Salad marks off paint/vinyl without really scrubbing. Spray on, soak, rub lightly, rinse off. https://www.jdindustrialsupply.com/schaeffer-citrol-citrus-cleaner.html?utm_source=bingshopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=schaeffer-citrol-citrus-cleaner&utm_campaign=cse&msclkid=c6b6261f63c51bd267b37dd15858a7eb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMiskoe Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Buffing compound with a soft pad on the buffer. Wash well before and finish with a good quality wax. The wax will make it easier next time. This is the fastest route, especially when there are a lot of them (like after long races on <180TW tires). Not said yet here, but starting fluid does pretty well too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
