Tyre Weight Sticky Tape Removal

[developer]

What's the best (and least aggressive) solution for removing the strips of tape used to stick previous tyre weights onto painted wheels.

White spirit perhaps?

Having just bought myself a set of 18" rims for my Audi and I used wonder wheels alloy wheel cleaner to soften it and a plastic scraper to get it completely off.

WD-40, leave it on there for 15mins, then it should rub off easliy.

isopropanol alcohol

do NOT! get WD40 on your tyres it will rot the rubber beyond belief trust me. in fact spray some on old worn out tyre and leave for a few weeks and see it crack.

WD 40 is definitely a no go near tyres There's a product called Goo Gone which I use for all these kind of tasks absolutely brilliant Alternative IPA (not the beer though that would be a waste)

De-Solv-it Sticky Stuff Remover is much cheaper

WD 40 is fine, just put it on a cloth and rub it on the areas you need it. best done prior to washing wheels.

i need to do the same since having tyres changed and rebalanced, will do it when i change back to winters

I also use goo gone on the door seals to stop them freezing shut in the Winter, but that sticky stuff remover is good value

Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover works well on adhesive. I used it to get baked on tar off my exhaust tips when I got my 210. LINK.

A vinyl and graphics company I work with use Tardis.

I'll second the Sticky Stuff Remover.

For all sticky stuff i use brake and clutch fluid cleaner and a lolly pop stick that wont scratch the paint. i use loads of it and from my motor factors its only £12.00 for 5 litres.
