Great project. I think those came out very nice !
Mineral spirit... no goGoo off... no gopaint stripper..... no gobrake cleaner.... no gostill to try..Lacquer thinnerGoo gone3M adhesive remover..kerosen/gaslast resort.....sand and re-wrap and forget about finish and lacquer..
I used Goo Gone on my 6 ply floor that I rewrapped with great results.
Once you apply it, you have to let it sit for a few minutes,(i'd say about 5) then the adhesive will peel off like "boogers of glue" for lack of a better term, with some rubbing... Very easy to come off, and i wiped a majority of the adhesive with my bare hands, in this case, rubbing with my thumb.. Good luck !
