Mothers Racing R3 Rubber Remover and Detail

From my Instagram @camarobeastZL1

Racing rubber marks can be SCARY! Mothers R3 Racing Rubber Remover is awesome. Marks just rub off. Finished with Meguiar’s Ultimate wax with a chemical guys black pad on a porter cable polisher. #motherscarcare #meguiarscarcare #beastzl1 #funwithcars #chemicalguys

R3 is just a solvent, removes track rubber but also every ounce of wax too. I’ve never understood why people love it so much. It’s great for clearbra, but be careful on painted surfaces.

Of course it is a solvent, but it is a better alternative than trying to polish out rubber strikes. Re-waxed after use.

No damage to paint if you wash or use spray detailer on the spot of application. Just spray R3 on a terry cloth in a nickle sized spot and apply the cloth to the rubber mark. Either wash or use spray detailer to clean the spot!

Wax after!

And don’t leave plastic bottles on top of your car.

Any normal cleaner wax takes off rubber. Skip the R3/Solvent step... and no, quick detailer won’t replace the wax R3 strips off. I use Griots/McGuire spray wax & quick detailer, they aren’t enough. Full wax required after R3.

I have been using a new turtle wax Ice. Its not a good durable wax like a paste wax but if you get it on the black trim it doesnt turn it white. So that makes it worth it for me.

Adams Buttery Wax works like magic and doesn't take your finish off.

I will have to give that a shot. I haven't found anything that works like R3. It does strip any protection off though.

If it’s pulling rubber off like that imagine what it may be doing to your top coat.
