cleaning up burnt rubber

I popped my rear tire a couple days ago. Is there a good way of cleaing the rubber off the back of the bike? Is scrapping the only way?

Don't use that! That **** takes off EVERYTHING! You wont have paint left on anything. Just use WD40 or bug and tar remover and alot of elbow grease.

I detail cars, and if you have a local store that sells detailing products just get some good ol degreaser. Prosol or Laquer thinner should work too...

power washer, about 4000psi should do the trick.

Zippo fluid, seriously. It will not hurt anything but the rubber.
