Suggestions for Removing Rubber from XPEL Stealth
Hi All
I take my M2C to quite a few track days and as expected have started to accumulate some streaks of rubber in various areas. The car is completely wrapped in XPEL Stealth as well. Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for products that be most suitable for removing the rubber streaks but leaving the XPEL (which has ceramic coating on it) unaffected. It isn't a huge deal by any means since my car is black and the streaks are fairly non-obvious, but the number of them are starting to build up. I also realize I could to temporary Track Armor wraps in certain areas, but thats effort. TIA! |

My ceramic coating guy told me to use the bug remover from nanolex, I have not baught it yet but even with the ceramic a bit effort is needed but before it was so hard to remove them !

Rubbing alcohol works for me. I use it to treat specific areas that didn't clean well after a regular car wash. This was recommended by my PPF installer as safe for the PPF.

CarPro Tar X
Optimum T.A.R. Gyeon Q2M Tar all 3 are great products to remove tar, rubber, etc from track use and are compatible with ceramic coatings since they all manufacture ceramic coatings as well. |

Get a jug of this and it'll last you 10yrs. It's what body shops use to prep cars for painting.
It's slow release so it's safe to use on paint, wheels, plastic (interior/exterior) without damaging or "melting" like strong solvents. Trust me, OTC chemicals are not worth it! https://www.amazon.com/U-Pol-UP2022-.../dp/B074QRXQ3J |

I use what body shops use before they start working on a car, it removes dirt/bugs/road grime/tar/etc. Love the stuff.
