However, if you don't wipe it off soon enough, it will dry to a film but that doesn't seem to have a negative effect if I scrub it off with a scouring pad.
This stuff isn't easy to find though. Home Depot carries it but out of the 6 HD locations near me, only one has it. I checked Amazon and it shows up there if you can't find it locally.
