I've found that WD40 works great!
I use it to remove most residues without the fear of "hurting" any of the surfaces applied. If you use it on areas inside of the car, I suggest that you wipe down the residue as much as possible and then apply some Armorall around the adjoining areas. By the way, prior to washing I even use it to remove road tar on the sides of the car.
Hope this helps...

i got it the residue off guys.
i used some of my sprayway glass cleaner i picked up at costco.
label says its safe on plastic so i figured why not use it.
tried it with a paper towel, didnt work so well, but got some of it off..
then i saw my 3m microfiber towel i got with my sharper image ionic breeze... tried using that and the sprayway glass cleaner and it lifted all the residue right off!! all clean, and the finish isnt harmed.
thanks guys!
