Removing Tire Marks

I got dinged by a few flying tire turds at the track a few weekends back, and was wondering if you all had any tips for removing the black rubber marks they leave. I got almost all of them out with a clay bar, but one particularly bad one didn't come all the way off. I bought some Tarminator and sprayed it on there, didn't do anything. What else can I try? I'm afraid I'm going to just have to buff it out...

I think you should just leave it and call it a "Battle Scar"! Ha Ha lol

I use turtle wax bug and tar remover and have not found a substance that it will not remove.

Good Luck,

Funny, that's exactly what I've been calling it.

I'll try the Turtle Wax brand, hopefully I have better luck with it.
