If you wipe it off while it still wet nothing. If it hardens I think you just need to use denaturalized alcohol and then rewax, but it still doesn't hurt the paint. I am not sure since I have always just taped mine off with painters tape to avoid this.

I threw caution to the wind and skipped the taping part and indeed, got some on the paint. But I kept a lint-free wipe nearby and it wipes right off. That said, unless you had a matte finish to your paint or got it on a sticker or something, I don't think you would see it.

The instructions say you can use it on painted surfaces...and, yes..I've thought about treating the entire painted surface.. Big, ballsy move so I am not jumping into that until I can test it thoroughly.

I hear that.. Maybe get a few interested folks to chip in and spread the risk?

Or take a road trip down this way and we'll do some test pieces.. The can I have is way too much for to ever use alone!!

With such a great product someone should introduce the company to the wonders of online sales. Perhaps I should send them a telegram and let them know that amazon.com makes it easy for them to sell more of their product. It's almost as if they don't WANT to sell the stuff. And yet their site indicates they have a team of 5 or 6 individuals that are devoted to outside sales.

LOL... I would love to give an update but I haven't had time to wash the rig.

It looks pretty good through the dirt...

I will admit at first I thought that this stuff was way over priced, at $40 litre, but after seeing how little I used to do all the plastics on my Jeep, it's safe to say it will last me much longer than an equal amount of 303. And at $20 litre, it wasn't cheap either. So I figure it's not as expensive, or at the least no more so than what I have been using,(303).

Okay gave the rig a spring inspection...

Verdict? Meh...

There is no fading, though I doubt there would begin such a short amount of time. The shine is pretty much gone and there are some mud stains along the edges of the rear fenders. I'll probably reapply it since it does make clean up easier.

So there's a surprise awesome product and a local distributor? Clutch!

My door handles, bumpers and hood latches need TLC.

Is the above address a store or just a supplier?

I live in East Hampton but work in Nassau/Suffolk.
