Anyone know how to remove rubber from paint/clearbra?

I've tried Zaino detailing clay to no success, probably because it's a non-abrasive clay.

To answer my own question here...isopropryl alcohol took the marks right out!

The remaining damage is so minor that I can ignore it.

Nice. Maybe this can be put in the detailing section.

DerekS, if you don't mind me asking what happened to your car?

Good job! You're hired.

Dfair, I hit a chunk of loose tire tread on the highway, aka "Detroit gator"or "road gator."

I attribute my good fortune to the clear bra, without it I'm certain I'd have had more damage.

Road debris sucks.
