What should I use to get all the adhesive off the interior paint as well as in my engine compartment? My paint is in incredible condition it jjust has a bunch of ugly adhesive that was used to adhere the original firewall mats etc.

I hit it lightly with a wire wheel on my grinder and none of the factory paint came off or lost its sheen

Brake cleaner also works. If there's much adhesive on there it can turn it into a smeary mess, though. Best to test it on some out-of-the-way place.

"Goof Off". Just used it to remove tape residue from plastic, and I've taken duct tape, package sealing tape, and lots of other stuff off with it. The Cap'n

I used a single edged razor blade. Use it to scrape that brittle adhesive by holding the razor at a 70-90 degree angle.
Stuff just turns to dust. You'll need to use quite a few razors. When they dull, it'll be obvious.

3M adhesive remove. From local Home Depot

White and red can.

I used it on my old 914 to remove the glue for the passenger compartment firewall pad.

Gets nice and high too.

WD-40 works.

Removed an entire sticker kit from my first pick up truck with it.

No no, you inhale the peanut butter. Sometimes it helps to thin it with maple syrup. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I haven't tried WD40 on the pad adhesive, but it works wonders on small gummy stuff.
