Default Cleaning off double-sided tape

I need to clean off the double sided tape that came with my urethane amuse lip. I'm planning to use thinner tape. Anyone know of any good chemical that won't damage urethane?

thanks

There are a host of orange solvents, goo be gone, etc. that work great on adhesives.

although its a tar remover, autoglym tar remover should work fine for adhesives too- you might want to try a very small area first, but it should work fine.

will find a site for it and post it back here...

be sure to rewax the area (i would just use it as an excuse to do the whole car!... wait a minute, i dont need an excuse- i wax it whenever its clean!!)

I knew you'll suggest WD-40 the minute I saw your name on the post. I went with WD-40 because it was readily available in the garage. Took a bit of cleaning to soap the oil off afterward, otherwise it works. Thanks!
