Removing glue reside on inside firewall

Anyone know a quick way to remove the firewall rubber pad glue residue on the inside cockpit without destroying the paint?

Thanks,

Top secret tip I learned from Brad --

Brake cleaner.

It removes all kinds of nasty crud from the cars without doing much to the paint underneath. That firewall glue does take quite a bit of elbow grease though.

Maybe that is why I'm a freak. Too much brake cleaner inhaled.

Brake cleaner is my friend.

I own stock in Berrymans

When I first read this, I thought "Brake Fluid". Hmm, that would work to remove the glue, but the paint would come with it. Is it Monday?
