Black marks after a DE
OK, simple enough question that really relates to any car during a DE, but I happen to have a 996TT, so you're my guys.
Just finished my first DE. LOVED IT. But when I got home, I saw that my red paint had a bunch of black marks on it, which I can only imagine is the result of hitting rubber flotsum and jetsum while I was on the track.
I tried to use "bug and tar" remover, but to no avail. What is the best way of removing these?
Thanks guys. And BTW, I think that I'm addicted now to DEs. Been doing AutoX for 4 or 5 years, and this was my first DE. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!

I've seen a number of paint sealants that are used instead of waxes. I can't use those because I put a clear bra on the entire front half of my car. full hood, full front bumper, rear bumper and two front fenders. Any of those sealants that I've seen are not compatible with 3M's clear bras.
So, I stick to wax. Not sure how the bra will react to gasoline being used on it. Boy, that's a scary option.

I have had great results using 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner on paint.
On a clear bra I use Wurth Citrus Based Solvent Degreaser to remove tire smudges.

Try WD40 in a spot. You should have this in your garage already.
