Anybody got a recommendation on how to remove all the adhesive they used to hold the engine bay pad in. Wont come off very well with a wire brush and carb cleaner just makes me high.

Hey Guys and Gals, If you are going to spend all of that time and effort to remove the pad in the engine bay. Take a few more minutes and remove the tabs that were used to hold the pad in place around the edges. It will clean up the engine bay and get rid of those nasty sharp tabs that you get your arms,fingers,and clothing caught on, leaving a nice tear on your skin or sleeve.
