Good thing since it would take the paint off your car if it did....

Thanks for all the recomendations, just got my Zaino and sure enough this stuff doesn't sling off at all. I've tried many others and they all sling to a certain extent. (Applied with a sponge or applicator and wiped off, makes no difference, still slinged even after days of drying off)

They're out of New Jersey (if I remember correctly) and that's the only place you can pick up. They deliver super fast once your order is in.
Think it's like two business days.

Endurance is thick and stays put. I have had good results.

I use this stuff on the tires, the brake ducts, all black plastic under the hood, etc. Awesome! Doesn't shine and hides lots of imperfections. So glad I started using Adams products!
