When removing residue I go for Triflow, it always leaves things free of residue and with a slight scent of bananas (at least according to some mechanics) and no damage. Granted you will want to clean the rim with iso alcohol afterwards especially if you have a braking surface on the rim.
Plus with the Triflow out you could lube up your cables as well.
