Aluminum Rubber deflectors?

BillyHughes · 10-27-2021, 04:46 PM

I have seen a post about them here before but I don't even know what we call them! Who makes the nice flaps to keep rubber off of the rear quarter? I have not found any good ways to get the drag radial rubber off. I have a way but it's not a good one!

How are y’all getting the rubber cleaned off?

WD40 works pretty good.

LA's Totally Awesome from the dollar store works great for removing rubber from the quarters.

I'd be careful with the Totally Awesome stuff. It works good but even diluted it will dull the paint on my trailer.

Agreed. I found that as well.

Lots of stuff will take the rubber off but won't stop the paint from getting chipped from sand and other debris in the burnout box. ;-)
