So how does one go about removing this stuff, seems like this is permanent?

You can take it off with a normal tire and engine cleaner and some scrubbing. But personally mine is staying on.

Roger that! I'm going to keep this thread an ongoing project about longevity, but people have to remember, this is my daily driver and I do not have a garage, therefore in best scenario, it will last longer than what I get. It's parked in the parking lot outside my apartment. As a matter of fact, I've posted a pic in another thread called "My camaro, right now" when she's getting pounded with snow.

No problem, just remember, this is a review thread... I'm not a seller or supporter of Turtle Wax in any way, I just thought people would like this product as much as I do... as stated earlier, I don't like their products for paint. I use an unnamed vendor here to protect my paint!

And Jeebus, man does that car look like glass in your sig pic

Nice trade up by the way, I noticed your avatar sig said IOM and that's a black car, but still nice man! Thanks for the feedback!

The previous post was meant for all, not specifically towards you... sorry for the misleading on that.

Picked some of this stuff up yesterday but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I understand it's supposed to stand up well to rain and all but we're supposed to get alot (more: it's rained ALOT around here for months now) tonight so I might wait another day or two.
Not to sound cheap but this stuff better be good for $13 for a 6-oz can.

Read the thread man, I posted that it doesn't end up on your car. After an hour of sitting, (you can spray and leave it overnight) you have nothing on the car.
