Wheel Weight Adhesive Removal

[DocB]

Would like to clean up some BBS road race track wheels and would like to remove the wheel weight adhesive without hurting the finish. What have you found that works well for this chore? TIA.

Rubber wheel on a die grinder or drill and then tar remover(or similar) if the tar remover doesn't work on its own.

Warning Warning- Always test on an inconspicuous area any time you do things that impact the finish coat.

Enamel reducer, but as stated above, check first. Hopefully the weights are on the inside, if you're extremely careful you can actually use lacquer thinner but it will mess up the finish if you rub very hard. A plastic scraper can also be useful.

After you remove, scrap off the foam, I use Goo Be Gone adhesive remover, it works well.

Good luck,

Tried Goo Gone Gel. Works OK.
Tried Goof Off. In a can. Works even better. Really well.
BBS suggested that I try 3M Adhesive Remover or an Adhesive Remover from Wurth. Going to look into these.
Thanks fellas for your suggestions.
BTW-so far, both still required some elbow grease, but the Goof Off allowed me to goof off a little more.
