Remove Old Wheel Balance Adhesive

[RickRob]

Does anyone have any tips to remove the residual adhesive that has been left on the wheel when the old balance weights have been removed?

Thanks in advance.

I have never managed it without removing the paint underneath

I tried the Autoglym tar removal and soaked the glue with that, but as soon as I remove the glue it would remove the paint.

Here is another thread on it:

How about Auto finesses obli-tar-ate, that stuff can get nearly anything off

Brick acid & wire wool should do it same end result as PVR though

I used tardis and an old credit card. As a Bing will tell you, they were un marked using this method.

+1 for Tardis - amazing stuff, seems to dissolve everything and won't harm the paint (but don't let it dry on the paint)

Many thanks . I'll give Tardis a go.

Finding a credit card I don't need may be a bit of a problem

There is a product called 'sticky stuff remover' it's in a yellow spray bottle. It has orange oil extracts in it. It works a treat on double sided sticky pads. Worth a try!

That's the stuff available at Lakeland, it's good stuff but not as potent as Tardis - I tend to use it indoors as Tardis can be a bit too smelly
