Taking off glue/carpet on cab floor.... Sigh...

[Ironangel]

Anything that chemically removes that old glue will very likely remove the paint as well. Try Acetone or Lacquer Thinner, maybe Naphtha in the form of lighter fluid? WD-40? You can always opt for Methyl Ethyl Ketone or Brake Clean, and dont rule out the Carburetor Cleaner. Most of the above will render your "OCD" quite secondary in the realm of health & disorder issues. Thats to say nothing of the flammable and explosive environment created inside the cab. Heres a healthy idea...Dust Mask, Z-87 Safety Glasses, and the Wire Wheel followed up with some touch up paint?

If you don't want to remove the paint as you say, do not use lacquer thinner or acetone. I believe methyl ethyl ketone will also remove the paint. WD-40, naphtha and lighter fluid should be safe to use. The paint thinner and mineral spirits I mentioned in my post above are safe, relatively inexpensive, not very volitile and readily available at Home Depot, Lowes and your local hardware store.

I would assume someone used commercial carpet glue. There are some removers out there for that, but they don't work that great. I know you don't want to here this but a razor scraper is probably the only thing that will get rid of it.
