dsteelejr,
Back when I worked for the airlines as a aircraft mechanic, our upholsterer told me that you could use xylene to remove adhesives from aircraft clear finishes like Emron, without damaging the clear coat. Just don't soak the rag, just lightly on the rag and don't press hard, it'll do the job. He used it a lot to remove adhesives from all kinds of materials including aircraft finishes. Try it on a scrap piece before you try it on the $3,000 paint job on your show truck, ha, ha.
You can find it at Lowe's. Also, you may try what we used a lot of to remove all kinds of adhesives and other things, it's called MEK, or Methyl Ethyl Keytone. But Lowe's took real MEK from their shelves and replaced it with what they call a MEK "substitute" But DON'T use it on any finish, it will REMOVE IT, paint and all right down to the metal! But it's excellent for removing most any automotive substance, paint, grease, oil, other fluids from most anything, except plastics. It'll melt them, except things like nylon, teflon and that group of materials. Most of us just use gas, it doesn't cost anything. It's in the mower gas can, you don't have to go anywhere or get any specialized solvent. That is unless you are using Emron to paint your truck, then you have to use it because it's what's recommended to cut it with.
And what's weird is Lowe's removes real MEK but they still have xylene which will kill brain cells much faster than MEK. I figure someone, like people these days are, must have drank some thinking they could get high off of it and it dissolved their guts, then they went blind, and then they started puking blood. And just before they died they were high for about two seconds. Xylene and MEK are so dangerous it's not even funny. Make sure when you're working with them you have plenty of ventilation, like, OUTSIDE!!
