Help with removing adhesive

Well I am stuck right now so any help would be appreciated. I had vinyl on my rockers and I decided to change the vinyl color. I took off the vinyl and it left behind some adhesive residue that I have been unable to get off. I tried 3M Adhesive Remover and a myriad of home solutions to no avail.
Any suggestions on how to remove the adhesive?
I can get pics if that would help too
Thanks in advance

The 3M stuff is the best I have used to date and it does take some elbow grease and work to the glue off.

I usually have good results with WD-40.

google 3M Stripe Off Wheel 07498

get one, follow instructions. Don't use it if you have lacquer paint, but if you have factory 2003 paint, you are fine.
