do you know what the finish is?

I actually just did the same thing yesterday.  Spray Goo Gone on the adhesive, let is sit for 10-15 minutes, then scrape it off with your fingernail.  No damage to the finish, and no sign of the adhesive.

Walmart sells goo gone. WD40,kerosine,or cooking spray will work to.

I use stuff called "Goof-off", its a little more harsh and needs to be wiped off almost instantly, but boy does it work. Its a little, yellow tin can like the old 3 in 1 oil cans. I use it to remove rest and side plate goo.

WD-40, it cleans up best. Just My $.02.   :archer:

Plain old cooking oil will work too and shouldn't harm the finish.

Another vote for WD-40!
