Unless you have vinyl seats with armoral ont them, epoxy on anything fabric ain"t coming off. You can try to pick at it to make it less obvious but that's about it. It might help if you wait until winter. The freezing weather may make the epoxy more fragile. But unsticking it completely? I don't think so.

The film adhesive used for tape and velcro are similar unless you used epoxy for the velcro in which case...see above. First, try putting tape over the adhesive and peeling it off. Repeating as required. This might pull off some if not all of it. If that's not succesful, start with the least harmful chemicals and work you way up. Before each step, test it out in an inconspicuous area. Try mild soaps, windex, fantastic, WD40, rubbing alcohol, Jack Daniels, varsol...and a little more Jack Daniels... you probably want to stay away from nail polish remover and paint stripper. Be aware that as you apply these chemical, you are probably damaging the shine of the area around the adhesive. So you have to determine if you would rather have adhesive or a dull spot. Of course you can try to shine up the dull spot afterwards.


If it doesn't work, get a dash board hula girl and stick it over the stain.
