Default Removing rubber from my paint.

Anyone know an easy inexpensive way to remove melted rubber from the paint without damaging it? Was kinda out on a newly paved road in the cummins and let her rip and got the tires spinning about 110 then let her loose, went for about 200 feet before the tires finally grabbed. got out to find my exhaust and rear quarter panel covered in rubber....

Xylene [zi-lean] is your friend (main ingredient in goof off or goo gone)

Man that xylene is some nasty stuff in it's pure form. I work as a haz mat tech and we have hade many a xylene spill. You just look at the stuff wrong and it will blow sky high!

You can try Bug and Tar remover... Also Diesel fuel is amazing at taking off tar/rubber, just melts it and it is safe on your paint
