Must have been something with the Adams. A chemical reaction. I'm just saying. I'll let you know if I experience it too after a while...hope not. Just bought another can to finish the 4th JGC tire.

Got the Turtle Wax spray today, and am pleasantly surprised how good it looks. The problems others have had with overspray is the only downside, got it on one wheel quite a bit and it took a lot of scrubbing. Otherwise great product.

i'm going to have to try this stuff out, but not until my nxt pay check. i just alot of money stocking up on my Adam's stuff for car show's.

Ok, here's the deal... if you want it off... apparently it wont come off. BeeSting tried and I talked to him yesterday about it. He tried two different APCs. I'm going to email turtlewax about how to remove it to replace it. If it not coming off is a problem for you, do NOT buy this... sorry it took so long to mention this as I still have not tried to remove mine because I like it!

I will let you all know what the outcome is...

Sounds like that would work, have you personally tried that?

No but that shit can take anything off, if that doesn't do it use laquer thinner.

Please be careful if you have a coated wheel, it will take the laquer/clear coat off anything.

You're gonna have to get a stiff bristle brush and abrade it off. It's the only way to remove the coating that i have too. I used an apc to loosen it then a stiff brush to remove it. Any Adam's brush or light bristle brush isn't gonna cut it.

Why would you use a brush, it will leave marks in the sidewall, and you run the risk of marking your wheel if your hand slips. Get some shop towels instead.

A brush doesn't leave any marks. I have used my brush on many kinds of tires and never left marks. Shop towels aren't aggressive enough. Trust me on this. I detail for a living. I would be feeding you a load of crap if I didn't care for our cars.
