So, being a mechanic, I tried using several cleaners that we use in automotives. CRC CO Contact Cleaner worked just as well at softening the old tape and glue as paint thinner, but is safe on plastics. I sprayed some into a cup and used a bunch of Q-Tips, and it worked well but the contact cleaner evaporated too quickly. I then found something that works super. It is called Perfects Contact Cleaner, and it is designed to work in the Tropics where I live. While dissolving the glue, it also protects against rust and corrosion while drying colourless and with no residue. It improves electrical conductivity, cleans, and removes aluminium corrosion.
