Tire Rubber Removal

Any advice on the best method for removing rubber bits from my fender edges and exhaust tips? I did a burnout a few weeks ago and caped my tips with rubber, got bulk stuff removed but the rest is being quite a challenge to remove. Was thinking of bug & tar remover and clay bar the paint, any ideas? Thanks.

I was going to say Tar and Bug remover...

Another "Cleaner" I find works great but is costly.... GAS

I'm serious though... It does wonders just wouldn't use it on paint!!

i've used WD-40 on sticker residue and tar. I don't see why it wouldn't work to remove the rubber. I used a terry towel and WD-40. Just make sure you get it all cleaned off.
