    I made an oops...

    I accidentally got some turtle wax jet black endura tire coating T-12KT on the edge of my Accord's sport's OEM aluminum alloy wheels. Is there any way to safely remove it?

    Try an APC first, then if that doesn't work try a polish. Start gentle, get more aggressive

    What is APC and where can I buy it? Which light polish do you recommend?

    APC means all purpose cleaner. Here is just one (of many) examples:

    I have had good luck removing it with alcohol while still fresh.

    Um, use the tire cleaner that came with the kit.

    That will be your easiest option,that and a microfiber
