The best way I know to get rid of rubber is to combine Nitrous, Posi-Unit,
and a liberal application of gas pedal

Before you do some runs just spray some Armor All on the the back edges of the wheel wells. The rubber shouldn't stick and it's water soluble so clean up is easy.

I had that same problem today. DON'T use degreaser. It took the paint off the inside of the wheel wells. But I did leave it on too long. WD-40 doesn't work too good eigthor. The degreaser worked, just don't let it sit.
