Default Black tire chunk scuffs under sides

I've been hitting the track and I think that the little chunks of tire left on the track are bouncing up and scuffing up my paint. I get them on my hood too.. lol.. I'll typically scrub these tire chunk scuffs off while I wash, or with polish..

Is the claybar the way to go with getting these marks off the paint? What is the easiest/best way to get this clean?

soap and water
bug & tire remover
wax.

For more serious problems a little mineral spirits works well.

Tarminator is a great and inexpensive product. Some local Pepboys or Kragen will have it stocked. A more expensive but with more uses is the
Poorboy’s APC. P21S is always a safe and great option.

Thanks for the suggestions. I see what my local store carries and give it a try.

EDIT - Murray's Discount Auto had the Turtle Wax bug/tar remover (safe for clearcoat) product. It worked like a charm. No more ugly black marks.

Thanks again. It sure is nice to have the right tool for the job.
