After 10 dry burnouts fri. nite, my wheelwells were covered with tire rubber particles. A friend mentioned he had heard of spraying the wheelwells with something that would keep the rubber bits from sticking. He couldn't remember what it was--I thought of 'Pam'(don't know if that's the right name). I'm talking about the non-stick cooking spray.

Any ideas>

I just use some quick detailer, mothers, mcguiers, eagleone they all seem to work.

Before I make my runs at the track I just spray the stuff in the wheel wells, and the rear ground effects. I doesn't keep it all off, but about 90%. After it is a lot easier to clean up. 10-15 minutes versus one to two hours.

 

Its called burnout gaurd.

 

I don't know if the "Pam" would work, but don't get mixed up and buy "Easy Off"... we use that at work on pumps and electric motors... to REMOVE PAINT! lol

Lightninrod:
Not sure how this will work for cleaning up burnout debris, but after 17k miles of all season daily driving, my wheelwells look almost showroom. First, I spray the wells with Simple green, then hose off thoroughly (high pressure car wash works best but garden hose will do in a pinch). After they're dry, I spray them down with a good coating of foaming tire cleaner (this also works well on the undercoating on the frame). Once dry, wheelwells look super. If you want to get alittle ****, use a soft bristle scrub brush with the simple green. I also clean the painted sections of the wheelwells (fender lips and ground effects edges) with a gasoline soaked rag. Works almost instantly to remove road tar. Sorry for the long post!

 

guys--3 senior members and one regular--appreciate it.

 

I heard about this trick for the outside body panel right behind the wheel, was to apply a very light coating of vaseline. When done at the track, just wipe all the gook right off. Might work for the wheelwells also. A high pressure hose would probably be easier for cleanup.
