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.

Try WD40

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.

Goof Off worked great for me.

M.E.K-Methyl Ethyl Ketone(?). Stuff stinks but gets it done
