Koch Chemie Eulex – Another Must Have (Adhesive Remover)
by Rodney TatumThe Koch Chemie Eulex is a no-nonsense wipe on and wipe off product. The process is quicker, while also appearing to be more aggressive yet still safe enough for adhesive removal. I can see it being an option for removing stubborn tape quickly and effectively, but it will not replace Gyeon Tar as my preferred all around adhesive, in addition to tar removing option.
Removal with this fast evaporating product is simpler. Though I still like to at least do clean up with a soft microfiber towel and Gyeon Prep. A rinseless wash or waterless wash afterwards, for peace of mind may be an alternative.
I wanted to give an example of what I believe to be road paint, that had embedded itself for possibly years, removed with ease. I use the thin Rip n Rags microfibers from The Rag Company, with Eulex lightly poured on a towel.


Simply wipe on area. Flip towel and wipe off.




There is one negative to this product to be mindful of. Although likely not severe, especially with most paint systems, expect some slight micro marring. This is especially the case if you use it with a thin napped microfiber towel. I would equate this to using a medium grade clay bar, with the micro-marring that would occur. A light polishing session typically would fix this issue.






Is it better than 3M Adhesive remover? A quart of 3M lasted me almost 20 years.
I cannot give you a honest answer to that question, I have not used 3M Adhesive remover. My best advice not knowing how you feel about your current supply; if you do not have any issue and really like what you are using (3M Adhesive remover), I would just keep using it.
I do know some detailers who were very happy with Eulex and plausibly have used 3M as well. I like Eulex, but it has not necessarily replaced Gyeon Tar (even in adhesive removal). Eulex is more a wipe on wipe off, versus Gyeon Tar where I would put even more emphasis on flushing the product off. With that said Eulex can be a little more harsh on paint as well.

Is it better than KC Teerwasche A (Tea)?
