cleaning interior trim

I very recently acquired a 79 el camino, and when the previous owner replaced the windshield, he used 2 sided tar tape to hold the trim on. So, my question is what's the best way the get that crap off the interior of my ride, and off the backside of the trim?

Home Depot has a product called GOOP its an adhesive remover. It comes in a a small spray bottle for about $5.

Goop works great but I have also used K-1 kerosene to clean off various glues, sap and grease. K-1 cleans your hands well, too.

Goop may be too strong to use on plastic...Turtle Wax makes a product call "Bug Off". I think that's what's is call...got some at home, I'll look tonight. It's a lot milder, but take a little more work.

Give WD-40 a try.
