You know, when I started rereading your original post you didn't mention whether the "sticky stuff" was stuck on a metal surface or not. Since I am always more worried about anything that contains a solvent (propellants can fall into this category so anything that sprays out of a can is suspect) eating into a plastic surface or damaging some paints (not all were created equal) I would start with the most non-corrosive option first and work my way down the list.

I did the exact same thing. Goo Gone did work, but I did it in several applications so I wouldn't get the oil where it shouldn't be. Sometimes those new items to make our work easier cause us more work in the end.

Use Un-Du from a scrapbooking store. Scrapbookers use it all the time to remove adhesive. Works great! I would try a small place at first, just to check out any damage to your machine, however I've used on plastic and metal and never had any problem.
