So I bought a can of Adam's In & Out Spray and tested it on the exterior according to the instructions. It didn't seem to do any harm, so I sprayed the entire pillar. Now I have a big white stain on it. It looks like some spray painted my car! I tried removing the stain with soap and even a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. No luck! If anyone has any advice on how to remove this I'm desperate! It looks so bad! Please help!

You could try polishing it, even by hand.

Oooooo that looks pretty ugly Have you tried a clear-coat polishing compound. If that doesn't help I'd dial the company's customer service number, tell them what happened, and ask them how they are going to fix it!

BTW, their website reports, http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-396-a...ulk-order.aspx

"Even though our famous Adam's In & Out Spray had to be discontinued don't worry - we are working on a new product that will meet any and all VOC Regulations the Federal Government can throw at us!"

I got my order from detailers domain. I believe that the In & Out Spray, is the new kind that now complies with the VOC regulations. I've contacted Phil from the site and maybe should contact Adam's. The only polish I have lying around is some Meguiars Plastix. Is there a specific polish I should be trying?

Phew! So I took your guys advice and got the polish and orbital and managed to get the stains out. Thank god! I also spoke to Philip from detailersdomain who was nice enough to reply to me on the weekend here. I must add that he runs a great business. Everything I've ordered from him gets here in 2 days (albeit I'm in the same state, Upstate NY) but still, he ships it out that same day. Thanks for everyone's quick responses and help!
