How do you remove tire rubber in wells from drag racing

Anyone know the best way to remove the spent rubber accumulated inside my wheel wells from drag racing?

i had a ton of that junk on the passenger side after we went to baytown, i just peeled it off with my hands--the hardest part is to get the thin layers off, the thicker layers tend to stay as one piece and are easy to get off--dirty fingernails are unavoidable, it really is kind of a pain in the a$$ to get it all
good luck

Yeah, it sucks doesn't it?

A powerwasher works well or spray carwash is easiest. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty, hehe.

Or, just leave it on there, it gives it more character.

Yeah, but it is character that the Dealership does not need to see. I don't want to join Russ in the "Nissan hates me" club.
