Default Xenit ok for adhesive removal on paint?

I removed my rear emblems and need to remove the adhesive. Is Xenit ok to use on the paint or is there something else this is better?

Thanks. I figured it was OK, but it's good to hear from someone that has used it.

Oh, and thanks Cactus for setting up that group buy which hooked me up with the Xenit in the first place.

Sure, give it a shot if you don't have to rub too hard and create any marks. I have had good luck with a soaked cloth and goof-off or rubbing alcohol. I put on and soak for twenty seconds or so then wipe off, then clean or wash the surface.

Default Latest Report from the "Orange Grove"

I have found that the Xenit product does not remove paint if there is a clear coat on the paint. So I would think is would be fine to remove the goo adhesive. I have found however that Xenit will remove paint if there is no clear coat over the base color coat. Ask me how I know.

BTW this silliness is all your fault Andreas.

That "before" shot is even before your PSS9s...

Nonetheless, the "after" shots are nice!

Unless the xenit has a special formula to convert suspensions.

Thanks for the compliment. The project started with the PSS10 install. I thought since I was in there and the strut was out..... that I would tidy things up a bit. Bought a case of Xenit and off to the "orange grove". Nasty work I tell you. Wifey thinks the Bobo has completely lost it and gone off the deep end.

Xenit has magical powers and results are rewarding. I got a long loooooong way to catch the king of clean.
