A few times throughout the Vogue restoration I have accidently smudged the fabric of seats or trim with contact adhesive and gone into a blind panic. Firstly, with vinyl, just wait until it's not runny (10 to 30 seconds) then rub it around for a little while with your fingers and it will ball and come off - usually with no trace at all.
Fabric is another matter, but I found out early on that Lacquer Thinners works perfectly. It doesn't appear to harm the fabric - at least automotive velour. Just a small slurp on a clean rag and gently wipe it off in the direction of the pile - in fact any direction and finish off in the pile direction. At one stage I was using spray adhesive (3M High Tack) and got quite a lot on one of the seats - the overspray looks like thin string. The thinners took it all off with no trace. I have always done this while the adhesive was still wet though. I don't know about other types of thinners - just lacquer.
