How do you all get the lower quarters clean after drag racing? Any products good for this?

I know some people will use Green automotive masking tape rather than cleaning after racing. It seems to work to protect pretty well:

You can also pick it up at your local auto parts store:

Didn't some people use Pam?

I tried spray cooking oil once and regretted it. It took a whole lot longer to remove that then it does to power wash the rubber off a well waxed bumper.

I have seen guys lay a huge pile of wax on the quarter and not wipe it off until after racing. Not sure how well it works honestly

I've seen blue painters tape. But OP is asking how to get the rubber off...

Thanks for all the prophylactic suggestions. But, I already have the goo on my rear quarters, so...what will get it off? Any experiences in removal? Last trip to the drags will be Friday night. Then I have to get serious on the clean-up.

Try wd40, let it sit, it won't hurt paint, probably take waxes off

Do what I do, own a DTR, no worries of tire rubber, better chances of getting covered with bird crap due to its slow mobility.

Simple Green. Greatest all purpose cleaner in the world. I'd be shocked if that doesn't get it off.

I had good luck with WD40 on my TA, should work for you.

You could try this as a back up plan:

Goo Gone, WD40, PB Blaster... They all work. You will need a box 'o' rags for it.

I use Geddex Burn Out Guard before hitting the digs. Rinses right off when I get home.

The inner wheel wells, I let build up, expensive sound deadening...
