Default Removing rubber scuffs from clear bra?

After I drive my GT3 on the track I inevitably pick up scuffs from the rubber bits that get shot at the car on the track. Although its quite easy to get this off the paint, does anybody have a good solution for removing these scuffs from the clear bra'd portions of the car? Tried a quick search here and in the car care section but nothing found.

Thanks.

wet a paper towel with goof off or 3M adheasive remover. Hold on spot for 3-4 seconds and it comes off like melted choclate. Wash car before and after using this method.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser FTW. Do not use on paint though.

My girlfriend brought home this stuff...

http://www.fastwax.com/index.php?opt...hk=1&Itemid=33

So I had to try it. I wash the car like normal after a track day then spray wax on wipe, which takes the rubber streaks right off. Then wipe off wax with new cloth. Fast and easy the car looks great after. I would have not bought the product on my own put after using it I would buy it now.

+1 on the Goof-Off, however I mix it with Simple Green on a cloth and the rubber marks wipe away like "hot butter".
Then I wash the car and re-wax those spots.

Best product I have found is Stoner Tar-Minator aerosol. Wipes off tar and bugs effortlessly; ok on paint as well. Great for cleaning rockers and other lower extremities of car that get tarred at the track.

Goof Off, Goo Gone, and 3M Adhesive Remover are the best products I ever found to work. Spray, let it sit for a second, then wish off with a microfiber.

Meguiars Cleaner Wax works very well, is very gentle, and leaves the surface smooth and shiny with some protection.
