    Lestoil... works wonders. Got rail dust off my paint (don't ask me how it got there, oh wait that was when I ran the brake pads down to the medal and scraped the rotors to shit). I would try that and rubbing alcohol. Just use lestoil straight, it wont hurt anything. We use it to take the rubber roller marks off our boats.

      Soak with bug and tar remover, and rub with a nylon netted sponge. WD-40 may work also.

            I always just brush it off with my hand, but I have heard old timers say if its stuck wd-40 will bring it off.

              I tried a pressure washer and steel wool, got it off my bumpers but its still on my stainless tips. I'm going to try gas and then if that fails ,lestoil. Thanks guys.

                For the stainless exhaust, use Eagle One's product called Never-Dull. It will work great.

                  Never-Dull FTW! I completely forgot about this stuff and I use it all the time.
