IMO this is nothing at all to worry about. The first instant that tire-shine hits the road, it's gone and you're on the rubber underneath.
That would be incorrect. I know of one guy that crashed his NSX because of that stuff. That stuff is formulated to cling to the rubber.

It won't cling to rubber on the contact portion of the tire actually driving over an abrasive surface. No way.

NSX incident 90% likely to have been DRIVER ERROR.

It will. Feel free to try it yourself. Every drive through a puddle of coolant at the track? I guarantee you will notice it the next turn you take.

Driver in question was taking the same onramp he has taken many times and wasn't push it. After the accident, he verified there wasn't anything on the ground that could have contributed to the crash.
