Ok I have to step in before Dave has you all pissing on your fenders...
Seriously do not waste your time on any other product...go out and get a spray bottle of SIMPLE GREEN! Spray it on and wait a few seconds and the rubber will hose off. If it's a few events old you MAY have to actually wipe it off. It is cheap, and nothing, and I have used most everything that works better, not toxic, easy on paint and won't loosen your stickers...

I use optimum polish and a rotary or orbital buffer. Usually the rotary. Saves me the elbow grease and also makes subsequent removals easy since I buff the car after every event.

I really like Stoners Xenit, followed by Tarminator.
WD40 works (I used to buy it gallons at a time when my son was karting) but you should clean up afterwards with Xenit (or a citrus based cleaner... Or a product like quick detailed or Motul was n shine or spray n shine) to remove the wd40 residue.
Cleaning a kart really prepares you well for cleaning a car...trust me.

A friend turned me on to FastWax. Used with a microfiber towel works fast & easy, and leaves a clean/waxed finish in the process. I've actually cleaned my entire car at the track with it in about 30 minutes. But mostly use to remove the incidental tire rubber marks.

Nu-finish or any of the other cleaner waxes work. I don't bother until it gets thick enouogh to just peel off. The marble streaks protect the paint from all the bug splats.
