I would try calling or e-mailing the company.....I thought that Shoe Polish was water soluble to a degree...Also, the wax on your car should offer protection.......Keep us posted on this.Sorry, not much more help.

Sorry to hear about the vandalism Duck.

I think shoe polish has a wax base so you might want to try the lemon-extract wax removers that X-country skiers use to clean the goop off their skis. I also remember as a little tyke in cadets that we used lighter fluid to liquify shoe polish so it would turn glossy. That might also help remove it?

Good luck
