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.

I owe Brad for that one. I buy can after can (2-4 at once) of brake cleaner now. Use it on all kinds of stuff.

Me too...ya gotta watch out though, that stuff can put a buzz on ya real quick. Excellent ventilation is a must.

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? :)
