Has anyone ever tried adhesive release? I think it is a 3M product for automotive use. It will soften glue enough so you can rub it off. After that, you can use automotive adhesive cleaner or Prep Sol (used to clean primer before paint is applied) to remove the residue. Brother Bayliss should have some experience with these products.
