Removing Wheel Balance Glue?

[Beemerboy]

This is one area in detailing that I don't care for. Once the wheel weights are taken off, the glue that remains on the rim, can be WAY hard to clean off.

What I've been using is Goo Gone and a plastic scraper. Works OK but it takes quite a while to get it off.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

have you tried wd 40? It's an aggressive method, but man does it work amazing to take out glue and adhesive!

Yes I have and it works about as good as Goo Gone IMO.

3M adhesive remover. Let dwell and should take it right off.

This might be a good choice, I had some a few years back. Thanks

AF Oblitarate works really well as Tar-X. The secret is dwell time. The longer you let it set the more effective products will be.

I always use goo gone. I will soak a cotton ball and put it on the glue. Sometimes I will tape it over the glue with painters tape and let it soak while I do something else. It usually comes off pretty easy after a few minutes of dwell time.

Hmm that's not my experience. But yeah 3M adhesive remover is another alternative.
