Great tip and good to know! Mine are pretty ratty, and I have new ones to go back on, but have been tied up on more major repairs...hopefully it will be better than Goo Gone..

Thanks for that tip on the 3M adhesive remover. I took an hour or two this weekend and found a can. Couldn't find the exact kind you recommended but I found another 3M product that seemed to work well. Still took a lot of scraping and rubbing, but the paint was not bothered. Car looks 100% better without those faded rock guards...

No problem, they package the same stuff in a 1 qt. can with a pointed spout too, same chemical though.

What eases the pain is to spray or keep wet at the top but work from bottom up since the drip/run down keeps the bottom more saturated.

Car looks way better. Good job.

If at a paint supply store, SEM offers a product called SEMSolve but I figured you'd be more likely to run across the 3M.

It was a long time coming, but finally got to the track. Took the opportunity to do an HPDE event with NASA north east at NJMP lightning circuit. What a blast! 32 year old car was a champ. Ran it hard for 4 separate 25 minute sessions and drove home at the end of the day.

It's been way too long since I posted an update. Posting occurs much more often when there are problems as there is less time to just drive.?

Since my last post in November of 2017 I completed 2 more HPDE events at New Jersey motorsports park. Then this past summer I got word that new duties would be taking our family to California. We had 3 vehicles for the cross country trip and one had to go. Since the 944 is a keeper our XC90 had to go.

A cross country trip in the 944 would have been awesome, but a wife and 3 kids can't quite fit, lol. We ended up towing our camper with our Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 944 followed along eventually via auto hauler.

I put it right to work at another HPDE event at Buttonwillow in Bakersfield California shortly after arriving.

It's now been:
3 years as a daily driver
4 HPDE events.
14,000 miles driven
and no major issues.
