Wheel weight adhesive removal?

[GP06Roadster]

Any recommendations for what's good for removing the gook left behind from old wheel weights?

Cheers

Solvent and soft scraper but due care needed
White spirit, Cellulose thinners, Brake or carb cleaner and ..............patience :wink:

Soak in WD40 and a bit of elbow grease

lighter petrol and elbow grease

And in most cases, will still take the lacquer off :x

Autosmart Tardis... removes with little fuss and no damage that I've had.

I use my valetpro citrus tar and glue remover.

Thanks for the responses guys, I already tried white spirit but the gook just laughed at me :?

I'll give one of the tar removers a go before risking the scraper route as I'd probably bugger it up and end up down the wheel refurb shop :!:

Tardis has been mentioned in other threads. Also isoclean (alcohol) should dissolve the glue.

Otherwise, a hair dryer to soften the glue?

Another for white spirit and a sponge.....
Also works on brake dust and tar spots, but don't leave it on too long.

I used Autoglym Tar removal - yep, took the lacquer off anyway. Still need to clean my other rear wheel but not keen on the paint stripping.
