The rubber marks look almost as bad on the black cars. My R3 shipment just arrived. I could not get the rubber marks off with other cleaners. Sounds like this stuff is great.

Now if the Greek could just find a cleaner that removes Viper Engine marks, his hood would be pristine also.

If I knew for sure it wouldn't instigate a flame war on facebook, I would post that in a minute

I ordered a bottle to try. Usually use TTR. Package was delivered and then stolen off my front door step while I wa at work! Witnessed by two neighbors. Oh, how I wish I had come home right as this was happening...

I can confirm this works as advertised, and I found it online for like $5.50 a bottle. Threw the box away already so I don't remember from where. Randy's using it too
Sorry, but you and Randy are not exactly the best advertisements for clean and rubber mark free cars

+1 Meguiars cleaner/wax. Works great and it's available at your local hardware store. I'll send my car for a wash but I tackle the rubber marks myself. Detailers are a rip.

My detailer charges me $100 to wash wax and do interior. Some things are better left to the professionals. ie lawn mowing, weeding, mulching, and detailing cars.

My car hadn't been detailed/waxed since november and had been sitting outside the entire time. Too lazy to move all the boxes in the garage. However, it is finally inside (surrounded by boxes) and freshly waxed. R3 took all that garbage off like a champ. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Hey now. You people are always saying you want to be treated like everyone else. Besides you have way more flexibility in the wheel well to swing that leg 180 degrees Not to mention you get all the good parking spots

If it is just the 3M clear film you are getting the marbles off of check out plain old Pledge furniture polish. My 3M clear film installer swears by it and it is cheap.
