Default meguiars endurance sling

i oops-ed today. used tire endurance for the first time today, puts on a good tire finish, but i didn't wipe off as much as i thought i did. i ended up with some drops slinging on to the plastic in the wheel wells. now i have little dots on the plastic (sort of like drops on oil, so you can see where the endurance landed).

is there a way to get those spots out? tried z6, no good.

It'll come off the next time you wash your car.

Since it's on the inside of the wheel well, why don't you just leave it? It won't hurt anything and like Albert said, it''l wash off next time you wash the car.

really? how do you apply it? Even after wiping it off i still got a small amount of slinging off. do you just wipe it really lightly?

one last thing, how long are you getting between applications? both in terms of car washes and weeks?

To be honest with you, I used it last year and the tires looked great for maybe one month. Endurance comes with an applicator and I just apply the product to to applicator and then on to the tires. I never noticed any slinging.
Lately, I've been using Amour-All's tire shine stuff. You just spray it onto the tire in a circular motion and let it foam up and sit for about 15 or 20 minutes. It has silicone in it because some got on my driveway and is kind of slippery when wet. It makes the tires look good as well.
I may use 3M's 303 protectant next time.

I'm using 303 protectant and loving it. However, there's still old Endurance gum all around the letters. I just got an idea to try 303 top cleaner to see if it will take the Endurance away. I stopped using Endurance, and I really miss the smell
