[OM] Cleaning tape residue off of an XA?

Greetings, everyone. 

I just purchased an XA because... well.. because I
couldn't resist buying such a cool little camera. And
I think it was a pretty good deal -- $40 shipped with
an A16 flash.

Anyhow, it's got a bit of sticky tape residue on the
back of the camera which is pretty annoying.  I tried
a little methanol but that didn't seem to dissolve it.
 I was going to try some "goof off" but I was worried
it would hurt the plastic.

Any pointers? 

Thanks,

Steve
