Removing dried -on rubber
Use a safe solvent to remove burned on rubber; that does not contain any harmful components (heptanes or xylene or hydrocarbon aliphatic solvents; Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover, Stoner™ Tarminator, or Wurth Spray Solvent that simply emulsifies and dissolves the rubber, then use a plastic razor blade to remove any hard debris.
If this does not remove the rubber try a 3M Eraser wheel – this 4-inch diameter wheel is made from a soft white polymer, which looks and feels like rubber. 3M Stripe and Decal Remover

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (and generic knock-offs) do a great job. They work largely through mechanical action and seem to really do a good job at peeling the rubber off the paint instead of trying to dissolve it off.
e: ha! Turns out Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are literally the same untreated BASF Basotect foam Porsche uses for engine acoustic/thermal insulation because it absorbs high and medium frequency sounds and blocks heat while letting the engine growl come through. Talk about multipurpose material. Wonder if I can buy it cheaper as bulk insulation? I go through 1-2 bricks cleaning my wheels every time I wash my car
