spray motorcycle detailer and a soft towel. Comes right off and leaves a nice shine.

I have always used either Zymol or Maguire's spray detailer. Or a citrus based degreaser. Also use a micro fiber cloth to wipe off.

Easy I do it all the time a good cleaner wax (I use meguiars) and a Porta-Cable random orbital polisher works like magic

I just spray it on and wipe it off while wet. Does not get all the black rubber off if you leave it on clearbra for 6 months.




BriteSide® Miracle Wash Waterless Wash and Polish (AMW)
This unique dry car wash and polish delivers outstanding performance and quick, easy and economical spray application. No water required. Incredibly easy to use: simply spray on, use a clean terry cloth towel to spread Miracle Wash and wipe clean with a second terry cloth towel. It's simply the fastest way to clean your vehicle. Specially formulated surfactants lift dirt and other particles from the surface of your car and hold them in suspension. Miracle Wash then acts as a shield, protecting the surface from abrasion while you wipe the dirt clean. Repels dust and light dirt particles and protects against the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Miracle Wash Waterless Car Wash and Polish is now available in a convenient aerosol spray. No more applicator bottles. No more re-filling. And no more pumping.

Simply apply Miracle Wash using the aerosol spray can, work around with a towel and let the surface dry to a haze. Buff with a clean towel until the haze is removed and wipe away to leave your car with a fantastic shine and a super tough protective finish.

The active ingredients in the Miracle Wash formula are surfactants. These specialized chemicals not only lift the dirt off of the surface of your car, they also hold them in suspension while you wipe the surface clean. Throughout the process, Miracle Wash acts as a protective barrier between the dirt particles and the surface, protecting the finish from abrasion.

But Miracle Wash does more than just clean. Its specialized antistatic agents repel dust and light dirt, maintaining your car’s brilliant shine long after you’ve finished washing it. And Miracle Wash even protects against the damaging effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Miracle Wash is highly effective on virtually all nonporous and painted surfaces. At home, at work or in the shop, Miracle Wash is the only product you need to keep surfaces looking clean and new.

Apply Miracle Wash with a convenient aerosol spray. Miracle Wash not only lifts the dirt off of the surface of your car, it also holds particles in suspension while you wipe the surface clean.

Specialized antistatic agents repel dust and light dirt, maintaining your car’s brilliant shine long after you’ve finished washing it. And Miracle Wash even protects against the damaging effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Tarminator by Stoner.

I have found it safe on paint/clearcoat and clear bras. But it takes off the wax, too...

Believe it or not, human urine is about the best tar remover out there.
Try it and report back.

ReJex, this is the stuff. After applying on my track car I noticed that less rubber marks and that one that did stick wiped off with a micro-fiber cloth.

Disclosure.... I only use this product , do not sell it or have anything to do with marketing this product.

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...
