Default Dial In Shoe Polish

I heard that there is a dial in brand that is better for paint if any happens to get on it. Anyone heard of it?

I usually buy the Geddex Dial In paint from Thunder Racing. It comes off very easily with water and in the worse case a razor on the window followed by some glass cleaner.

The geddex stuff works great! It is a chalk based marker,you can wipe it off with a rag.
