How can I get this off my car?

I have, annoyingly enough, had the pleasure of running over crap that is spilled on the roads. This appears to be some sort of caulking or something, its a rubbery texture. I have been scrubbing for an hour, and the stuff does not remove easily. Luckily it is only in my wheel wells. A

Anyone else had to deal with this? Any suggestions?

Goo Gone Spray Gel might be worth a shot, try in small area first and let it sit for a few.. If it doesn't work well you have a bottle of goo gone always handy to have for various things...

Scrape off the big lumps first, before scrubbing or wiping. Reduces the amount of penetration you need. WD-40 can often be used on most non exposed surfaces. Test first . I have used it on rocker panels on my truck.

Honestly op just paint over it. Why waste $60 for what the wheel well is design to do?

Looks like your last orgy did not go as smooth as you hoped...

Scrape off what you can and then spray a can of bed liner over top.
