Don’t remove anything get a can of Weldwood brush on cement and brush it on the old adhesive brush it on the old carpet and secure the carpet

this carpet is a gray triangle that looks like indoor outdoor carpet

Thanks for the advice gentlemen.
Which of the above suggestions works best?
I've tried a mix of the usual solutions - paint remover, nail polish remover, brake cleaner, glue remover, WD40, PBlaster, etc - non really had an effective impact.
Should I expect to have to put some elbow grease into it?
I want to get the area perfectly free of lacquer

What effectively removes old glue but not paint to make the blue circled areas like the red circled area?
