Hi I have had some new tyres fitted, unfortunately where the weights were removed from the wheels a nasty black residue remains. Whats the best way to remove this without scratching the alloys please?

Tar remover (Autosmart Tardis) or similar.

Can this also be used on headlights to remove the residue adhesive from headlight beam bender adaptors?
 
Always test first though, try on an edge before launching into a full clean. Just to be safe
Cheers will do
 
White sprite will work, takes a while to soften the glue, but will not attack the paint finish, thinners will also remove, but if heavy handed could mark the paint, bit of tee cut will clean wheel.
