The wiring brackets stuck to the gas tank have come loose (either by a too-hot sun, or the people who mounted everything didn't clean the paint before they did it.) I'm getting some new parts with fresh adhesive, and I was wondering what the safest way to remove the old adhesive would be without ruining the paint. Alcohol? Gasoline? Probably NOT fingernail polish remover. Any suggestions would be helpful.
