Default Gummy adhesive type stuff on wood trim

On the longer dash piece, the two corners around the radio housing have some sort of gummy residue around it. It's only even visible if you look at it from an angle. It looks like it may not have been PDI'd properly. My dealer doesn't seem to want to take responsibility for it. Any clue how to get rid of it?

Default Try Goo-be-Gone...

I think that's how it's spelled. The stuff is great for adhesive goo and is safe on just about everything - it's indispensable.

You should be able to get it at any hardware store.

Your best bet is Ronsonol Cigarette lighter fluid. MUCH better than Goo Gone. Won't hurt anything.
