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 :x

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:

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 :lol:
