any all-purpose cleaner or degreaser should take it off, but dont use your wash mit to rub it off because the rubber wilkl stick in the wash mit. you can use a terry towel or any old towel you have layin around. To gaurd against it next time you can buy this stuff from jegs or summit that you spray on your rear quarters before you go to the track and then the rubber will just wipe right off. I can't remeber the name of it, but im sure somebody else will.

I also have seen old school racers use vasiline on the 1/4'S the rubber sticks to the vasiline then you just wipe it off.

this will sound crazy, but WD40 gets it off... then you just have to wash it afterwards
