This shit sucks... stay away from it. The very fine mist of over spray coated the wheels, truck and windshield and I was very careful spraying it on as per the directions. The only thing to get this off your tires is a brass scrub brush and lots of scrubbing. I am still trying to get the over spray off my wheels and I have to get some ultra fine steel wool to clean off the windshield. The over spray on the windshield looks like very fine pitting and is annoying when driving. I will admit the shine looked great, but for the cost of over spray and over 3 hours of scrubbing off it's not worth it.

I'm assuming that the very slight breeze and I mean slight in the garage kicked it up into the air and coated the sides of my truck and windshield. If I could take a pic of the windshield I would, but it won't zoom in that close to even notice it.

I should have read the reviews first on this stuff. I just looked up the reviews of this product on Turtle Wax's website and there are lots of bad reviews with the same outcome as mine.

Per my detail guy,

Whatever you use be sure it is water based and not alcohol based.

The alcohol based products open up the rubber / pores in the tire sidewalls and lets dirt in, leaving your tire that brown color after the product has washed off.

Water base will not leave your tires brown.
