   "Methylated" means that it has a methyl group (CH3) attached. A benzene   
   molecule is six carbon atoms in a ring, with a hydrogen atom attached to each   
   one, C6H6. A toluene is a benzene molecule with one of the hydrogens replaced   
   by a methyl group, C7H8 (   
   or C6H5-CH3).   
      
   Xylene is a benzene molecule with two of its hydrogens replaced by methyl   
   groups. They can be right beside each other on the ring, separated by one   
   hydrogen, or across from each other. So there are three different kinds of   
   xylene, all with the same    
   chemical formula. But they have slightly different physical and chemical   
   properties. For the purpose of dissolving Shoe Goo, I doubt if it makes any   
   difference which one is used. They'd all work (or not work) about the same.
