Default All that rubber

Anyone know how to clean the flying rubber skid marks gotten at the track off of clear bra? Simple green works on the paint, windows and headlights, but neither that nor anything else I've tried works on the clear bra

Cleaning after track days has been discussed at length for years. A little searching will do you. There are some remarkably good chemical products. I use an RV black streak remover, there's a good "bug and tar" solvent, a 3M cleaner polish and a motorcycle bio-safe cleaner that all do the job without jeopardizing the clear coat or paint film.

Years? Yes. However, new products do come out. Mothers R3 just came out and the stuff is designed specifically to be a "Racing Rubber Remover". Spay it on. Wait 30 seconds or so. Then wipe it off. The black marks are gone. It is safe for you paint and vinyl.

Does R3 harm clear bra? I tried the TTR and it leaves the clear bra looking like sh*t.

Text from the link I provided:

"Mothers® R3 is a spray on, wipe off cleaner, formulated to quickly and safely remove rubber scuffmarks, dirt, soil and grime from paint, glass, vinyl wrap and just about any other exterior surface. Modern chemistry ensures that R3 is tough on tenacious rubber and grime, but gentle and safe for surrounding surfaces. "

I've heard great things re: R3. Is it available at the local Vatozone? It's ~$15 on Amazon (after shipping), and it's not available on Prime.
