I am sorry I did not reply sooner, but my computer went on a summer
vacation. There is a company called K & L Supply that warehouses in my town.
They carry large quantities of Citrus Solvents. There are two types: one can
be diluted with water and one can't. The one that cannot could be used for
electric motor cleaning etc. instead of CFC'S. The water soluble can be used
for large lobs such as cleaning oil off of concrete. This stuff is great for
removing tar (however also removes wax which is great for skies, but you may
have to touch up the Vanagon). I use it as a general degreaser as well as a
hand cleaner. A must for the home mechanic ( it also takes grease out of
carpet which I've never done ) . It is only available by the gallon,  at
about $17 per or in an aerosol can 17 0z. for about $7. If you want more
info I'll be happy to supply names, phone #'s etc.

The best way I've found to remove any type of sticker gunk, dried grease,
oil or dirt is to use a nifty little liquid called "citrus degreaser" I
first discovered this neat stuff when I worked in a bicycle shop in college
and always keep a bottle of the stuff around. Just rub it on to any gunk
with a rag and the spot is clean with no damage to the surface. Best of all
it smells good and it's biodegradeable!

Almost any good bike shop will carry it. Just ask for
 "citrus degreaser"

The type I usually buy is from a company called Finish Line and comes in a
black squeeze bottle, 20 oz. for around 4 bucks
