Thx Joe. I've actually changed my mind and am going with regular Xpel. I have cleaned rubber of my current Xpel with Mcquires race rubber remover. Works great.

Considering a lot of people put Expel on to protect their cars from track stuff, I was a bit disappointed that the rubber marks appear to permanently stain the Expel.

I am happy to hear from those who have figured out how to remove these stains, or from Xpel on what can be done.
Checked with my installation team and they said, Use either our film cleaner with a brush, or if the cleaner doesn't work, acetone. Any pictures of the stains?

From what I know the stealth film will show the marks. I have one mark on the Xpel ultimate but it isn't really noticeable with the clear film. But I saw a car with the stealth film that really did show the marks. The owner of that car said he wouldn't do stealth again since he tracks it so much. It didn't look like the marks would be able to be removed as they didn't look like stains to me, more like scuff marks.

With the right tools, they should be able to be removed. As mentioned above, XPEL Film Cleaner with a brush, or if the cleaner doesn't work, acetone.

Dont forget about Adonis Detail with Tim. The article speaks volumes of his work.

Is acetone more for satin film, or is it OK for regular as well? I have a fee similar marks on mine.
