You may want to look into getting a guard for above the exhaust tip. I think I've seen them for sale on one the websites.

you could try using lighter fluid and rub it off with a rag, i'm not sure what it'll do to your paint. i had someone do a burn out in front of my car and tire rubber went all over my hood everything i tried did'nt work until i used that. it did'nt look like it did anything to the paint but hey i'm no expert it may have taken some of the clear coat off????

o ya just be sure that all the lighter fluid is dried before you start your car up you don't want no fires on the paint.

If you use lighter fluid on your car the clear coat is going to come off and then your car will really look like ****. If you go to an auto parts store they sell this stuff for detailing your car. I think it is a spray, you use it to take off tar and stains off of your paint. You might want to find out some more info on that.

I think turtle wax makes it or something like that it's called Bug and Tar remover.. i tried some on my car, it works well and it also leaves this waxy look.. which seem a bit out of place on a dirty car.. but yea.. that's my lazy a$$ for you..

You need to put a longer tip onto your exhaust, one that extends beyond the end of the bumper. Once that's done, the exhaust won't discolor your paint anymore.
