so i went to track and it rained that night. the next morning i cleaned off the polish but it was too late. i have little white chips everywhere. on the window, on the paint, on the wiper blades, on the plastic. is there anything that will lift it off without being abrasive and requiring tons of elbow grease(more sratches? no thanks)

uh.... hey Gavin, have you tried WASHING your car? Just a thought...

I had the same thing happen two weeks ago. After I washed it, everything came right off.

Gavin: You simply need to go faster and launch harder. The shoe polish will fall right off.

This is an easy one... sandpaper! Der! :lol:

OK OK... All kidding aside, this really is pretty easy. Use a clay bar and some quick detailer.

^^^what Marty said^^^ But be careful, knowing our cars the rest of the paint might come with it!
