Luke,

Just a few hours before your post came through I was reading a trade publication article on a soybean based adhesive remover.  The product is called Bean-e-doo and is from Franmar Chemical Inc.  I "googled" Bean-e-doo and it came right up  with a variety of applications from automotive to cove base removal for the USPS.  I have not tried it, have no connection with it, etc, so on, and so forth........    There are other options but I thought this one sounded interesting as it is nontoxic and 100% biodegradable, after all some thing to do with our vans should be environmentally friendly. :-)
