Default Burnout- keeping it clean

What if anything have you come up with to keep all the melted rubber and glue from sticking to your truck at the track after doing your burnouts. Or should I ask what are you doing to clean it off. Or do I just learn to live with it and accept that my pretty truck is going to look this way if I'm going to be doing burnouts.

Cover your rear quarterpanels in masking tape.

You can use some painters masking tape, dish soap and very little water or go to the speed shop and get the ummmm........****!! Can't think of the name of it!! I'll have to go by the speed shop and see what it's called.

I'm wanting something I can spray all around in the wheelwells under the bed etc. because the freakin melted rubber and glue is everywhere not just on the lower bedsides. I heard pam cooking spray, you never know thats why I'm asking here because I know alot of people here have nice trucks and like doing burnouts also.

You can put a layer of Vaseline behind your wheelwells. The rubber doesn't stick to it, and you just wash it off after. Just make sure nobody sees you buying/carrying/touching Vaseline. We all know there's way too many jokes around that.
