Try 3M Adhesive remover. It should take the adhesive off well, as it works fine for de-badging! Then, you can apply some 303 to get off the 3M. Should be a 1 minute job.

not sure what kind of question that is or if your just being a smartass... the blue cf kit was on the car when i bought it. i plan on switching to the brushed aluminum kit in a couple weeks. otherwise, its just the stock s2k ap2 doors and center console.

iv used goo gone before on the outside of cars. side moldings, badges, emblems, etc. i just wasnt sure what kind of affect it would have on the dash

be careful with goo gone on the dash--it's powerful enough to dissolve the color off of it if you leave it on to long- (it dissolved the glue out of the carpet when I was trying to get chewing gum out of it) -try a side portion of the dash first (like the edge that's exposed when you open the door) and see if your dash changes color from it
a less powerful cleaner (but strong enough to remove the adhesive residue) is "Desolv-it"--available at walmart or lowes. An even milder cleaner that might work is Simple Green

veilside:

What are you using? If you aren't using 3M Adhesive Remover, try it! If that doesn't wourk, I would take the car to an upholstery expert, if I were you.
