Alternative to 3M 08984 General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner?

We still do some windshield work (mostly RVs) and go through a decent amount of 3M adhesive remover since it's pretty safe on paint and will clean urethane off very well. It's gotten to be pretty expensive, so thought I'd ask and see if anyone has found anything that will clean urethane adhesive but not harm paint.

My glass guy uses diesel fuel . Does a great job.

Surprisingly, a clay bar does a good job on urethane and small adhesive overspray.

I think Astro is referring to windshield urethane.

Yes, windshield urethane. Urethane reducer works great to clean it up but it isn't the best option on paint.

I've always used what are called "Scrubs-In-A-Bucket," it seems to be what most glass guys use.
