Tire Wet on paint

I recently used Turtle Wax tire wet on my tires. It was the spray on kind, and i think i used too much. The last time i washed my car i noticed a bunch of little black spots on my doors, which came from the tires as they spun. I really have to scrub to get them off, and was wondering if there was an easier way to get it off. Any ideas? i used Rain-x bug and tar remover with no luck btw.

If it helps, i drive an 04 Rsx that is silver

A couple of quick suggestions would be to use a degreaser that's safe for paint, or to use a clay bar to remove the tire dressing. Either way you go, you'll want to reprotect the paint as the degreaser or clay bar would remove or at least diminish any protection you may have on your paint.

Hope this helps.

Many tire dressing contain solvent based silicones, which sad to say, stain paint. Try some IPA (Common household rubbing alcohol, not whiskey) straight from the bottle on a MF or soft towel, blot and wipe. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

When you run your hand over the spots can you feel them at all?
