Goof Off contains Xylene. No worries about damaging paint or PPF?

This stuff is magic.

I know 100% it's safe on PPF and paint.

And vinyl, and everything

I would not use goof off on PPF.

3M Adhesive Remover - https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-...3194120&rt=rud

  • Safe for use on nearly all cured automotive paint
It does contain 5-10% Xylene. SDS is available from the link above.

Seconded on Mother's R3 Racing Rubber Remover! I've been using it for years on my track cars and it works great.

Third'ed on Mothers R3 - It's safe for PPF and amazes me every time I use it.

For tenacious rubber marks, place a rag soaked with a bit of it on the mark for 10+ seconds, then spray again and wipe gently.

Use liberally, wipe gently letting the liquid do its magic.

I've been using clay bar with good results, but will also give the Mothers spray a try!

I've always used a clay bar and made sure I had a good coat of wax to start with before a track day. The Mothers R3 stuff looks good though, will have to give it a try.

Have seen teams at the track using this. Joe Gibbs Speed Clean or SD-20. I have both and they appear to be the same product.

It is a mild degreaser which can be used for engines, fender wells, etc. with no risk of damage to the finishes.

Scratch out works great.. apply and wipe. Doesn't damage paint or clear coat.
Also works with fine rock chips from the track

WHP raceway? What times did you run?

I went on Saturday but they cancelled the event due to rain.
