Well, here's one for group. Finally got my new suspension and tires on my 1972 240Z, and after "spirited" but

safe driving, have tire rubber bits and dust coating the sides of the car and lower panels. Was looking for the

easiest and least harmful way to remove the melted residue without scrubbing off the paint. Heard WD40

works, but was looking for the least destructive way to remove residue after driving. I'm sure guys that track

their cars have a way of dealing with this, as their cars always look great. Thanks, Andy


Try Mothers or Meguiars products for car cleaning that are commonly available at Autozone,Pepboys,Walmart.

Find one that states "for road tar"

Two good suggestions! I've seen folks working at car washes use some pretty nasty stuff out of bottles with "Danger"

warnings all over it. Didn't ever want that stuff near me or the car. Thanks. Andy

start with something gentle like clay, it will very likely remove all the crap off the lowers. WD40 works too but you need to put it on the paint surfaces before contamination...I use it on my track wheels for the M3 since the track pad's dust is a pita to remove if it gets wet at all.
