Default how to clean XJR throttle body

What is the recommended way to clean the XJR throttle body?

I have a can of CRC throttle body cleaner, it says do not use on super charged vehicles. So any pointers?

This will help - it was the first job on my car when I originally bought it, and I adjusted the throttle cable at the same time.

ONLY CAUSE YOU "COULD" CAUSE A INTAKE BACK FIRE. IVE NEVER HAD ISSUE. i JUST DO IT ON A HOT ENGINE,, REMOVE INTAKE TUBE AND SPRAY TO SOFTEN THE GUNK AND THEN OPEN THE BLADES BY HAND AND CLEAN WITH A TOOTHBRUSH. SPRAY AGAIN TO CLEAN AND REASSEMBLE START IT UP WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE THROTTLE CAUSE ITS NOT GONNA WANNA START AT IDLE SPEED. WING THE THROTTLE A FEW TIMES TO CLEAR CLEANER FROM INTAKE AND YOURE DONE. THE THING IS YOU JUST DONT SPRAY AND SOAK THE CRAP OUT OF EVERYTHING. A CAN CAN DO ALOT OF THROTTLE CLEANINGS. YOU CAN also stuff a rag or papertowel down pas tthe throttle body to soak up the cleaner that collects if that makes you feel better. I never do though
