Seen the guy next door use Acetone to remove it. Far as I knew, Acetone ate plastic but maybe it is safe on ABS which is what most of the interior is made of. He was working quite hard to get it off.
Another problem you may encounter is the person who painted it may have sanded it first making it dull and not too nice looking. Clean a small area first and have a look. Might be easier to buy a whole new inerior. I can't see myself facing the nightmare of geting all that off.
