What to use to clean up burnout rubber?

What do you guys use to clean the burnt rubber off the trucks paint and under the wheel arches after doing burnouts at the track?

Even better, what do you use to prevent it sticking in the first place?

I have burnt rubber sticking as far forward as the side mirrors

I have heard some of the guys say they use PAM cooking spray before an event to ease cleanup.

I am not sure what to use when you get it as bad as you did.
Was it realy needed or were you just having fun?

I use purple power from advance auto parts. works pretty well especially if you get to it within a day or two.

I rub it off with my hand and it peels off. Pam will help prevent it from sticking but the best stuff is called Burnout Gaurd, its made my Geddex and can be purchased from many speed shops or Jegs.

Wheel wells:

I've used a pressure washer with the soap turned on and have had good results, even after 2 or 3 months.

yup

cold water pressure washer works best, try to get to it in the early morning house after it's sat all night with the sun not beating on it. Then hit it with the pressure washer. Peels right off. The only stuff that get's left behind is if you get pure VHT on the paint, and that usually comes right off with some quick detailer and a terry cloth towel.

I like to spray some quick detailer around the wheel well and just on the outside on the paint. But ever since I got my line lock kit, i seem to be getting rubber everywhere........even on the roof!!!
