Installing a vinyl top and got a bit of adhesive on the vinyl. Using the 3M super trim adhesive. What's a good product to remove that?

That stuff works great. The guy who installed my vinyl top got a lot of extra glue on areas that weren't covered by the vinyl. That 3M adhesive remover took it right off without hurting the paint.

I use baby oil. Works really good at taking vinyl top adhesive off vinyl or on painted surfaces. Won't take any paint off and smells good.
