That's good stuff.
I use it religiously after I return from flogging my car in the Illinois rural areas,during the hot summer months.
Corn fed Dead bug guts that adhere to the windshield,hood,grill and bumper wipe right off with Citrol.

a heads up. if its a hard type of glue, "soak a baby diaper",... "colors can bleed off rags", and just hold it on the problem for 10/15 seconds sometimes longer for stubborn stuff and let it heat up the goo you want off...it can be a little hot around decals, a litte practice with
the stuff and you will always have a can around a grab it all the time.

I don't know about that diaper thing, being a single guy if I get caught with a diaper I might not live it down!

lol, seriously they really are the stuff, I get them from the diaper service co, I score them after a year or two old getting a little ratty to rent for them but ooolala...so nice for wax removal, no scratches even with black..there cheap you can usually score a garbage bag full for 20 bucks or beers if you catch the dude at the back door. or get a brother inlaw that works there if you cant find any I will mail ya a fist full and convert ya over to the dark side

I also didn't know they still existed - I have 5 kids, the youngest is 18 and I've never had a cloth diaper in the house!

I used Goof Off over the weekend and that took care of most of the adhesive. There still seemed to be some residual adhesive left of the rear mouldings but I don't think it's noticable.
Couldn't find Citrol at Home Depot or at Ace Hardware, where can it be purchased?
