I was devastated!<\/p>\n<p>Did a search online and it says I could clean it off with a cloth and mild detergent.

I went to Target and there was only 1 container of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.armorall.com\/products\/view_product.php?product_id=9\" target=\"_blank\">Armor all Protectant wipes<\/a> ($4.50) left &#8211; bought it and tried on our car&#8217;s wheels..
