I had a problem with this stuff at Nationals.  Chuck Sample had the 
plastic wrap on his tires and I needed to drive the car around the 
parking lot to see how it fit.  Since the lot is covered with the 
sealant flakes, we decided to leave the plastic on.  Well that small 
time in the paddock removed some of the plastic and "glued" the rest of 
it to the tires.  It was a major effort to remove.
