Great video! The Mothers racing rubber remover looks good!

I've also had good results using Autoglym's intensive tar remover. That snow foam is remarkable. Sticks like spray mount!! Might need some of that.

Snow foam is fun but I'm not convinced it's a major aid in the cleaning process personally...

Being partial to a bit of detailing, myself, I enjoyed every minute of that. I have the same frustrations with rubber rash on the side panels of mine, so will duly order up one of the featured products. Clay cloth is a neat idea too, I haven't been sufficiently faffed to clay bar mine yet, but the cloth is a nice 'middle of the road' option. 

Oh, why am I so limited on options getting the Cup R Aero fitted, now Motorsport have shut up shop *pout*

Do you know a good alternative to Mothers racing rubber remover ? (not easy to find in France)

Autoglym intensive tar remover

Echo, echo....

Actually most of the time I find rubber rash will come off the Caterham with a bit of waterless wash / detailing spray and a microfibre

Nice video, now I realize I have some rubber sticked on the car, so I have bought some rubber remover and "ferric" decontaminant!

Let´s have it clean and sound!

T-cut worked fine on my paint protection film on rear arches.  Have to admit I'm a little suspect of all these different products some times.   Bug and tar receiver seems to be no better than glass cleaner.  Then again I get bored after 20 mins cleaning a car ;)..... Much rather drive it

Great Video! 

Does anybody have an idea which products to use for rubber removal on matt black paint?

[geartox]

@NW76

I got this case on the front panel. I used Swissvax opaque products (gently rub). After few weeks and few wash sessions, it was totally gone. I never took the risk to use other "decontaminant" products on matt black paint.

During trackdays some people have recommended a product named in France "essence f" (wikipedia translation :  sort of white gas) really efficient on paint (not matt paint).

Thanks! That's exactly what I am doing as well ... but only the "shampoo" and the "quick cleaner".. are you using their wax and pre wax cleaner to get rid of rubber or the same stuff I use?

[NANO]

Ciao Norbert

try looking at this link, and maybe you can contact them with an email ... sure I can help you ... in my personal judgment of their products are TOP

Nothing would remove the tonnes of rubber down the sides of mine following my recent track day at Silverstone GP. In the end put some petrol on a cloth and it simply wiped off.

WD40 is equally effected but takes any wax away with it - i use it on really stubborn bits (especially yellow/ white cars ive had previously), full wash afterwards to get rid of any residue and then re-seal/wax
