Compund W might do the trick. But do NOT use a lot, as it would also remove the vehicle's paint finish.
I had a scrape on my driver door and I used some Compound W on it. Now, you have to get about an inch from the door to tell there was a scrape there.

TRY WD40, IT WORKED FOR ME.

What is the best way to remove stuck foam residue from a foam backed table pad on a wooden dining table?
Try using a little denatured alcohol that can be bought at paint store hardware store, but try it out on an inconspicuous spot on the table, first, because alcohol is the solvent for some finishes, particularly shellac. You may be able to carefully remove the residue with an all-pupose scraper and sticker remover. Make sure you use a brand-new blade, and work very slowly and carefully so as not to mar the finish. You may find that lemon oil will act as a solvent of the residue while not affecting the finish. (The lemon oil may actually improve the finish in that area and impel you to apply it to the whole surface.)

How do you remove residue from wood floors?
If it is the adhesive that the floor was installed with, try a quick squirt of WD-40 let sit for 10 minutes and rub gently with soft cloth, if that removes or reduces it keep it up till its all gone. Wood finishes are for the most part Urethane these days, so paint thinner, Lacquer thinner or even oily nail polish remover might hurt the finish. On a personal note, if the installer left the residue, make them come back & remove it, they have a product that will reduce or remove with them if they are pro's.
