    What do you use to remove wheel weight stickers

    The usual suspects of 3M Adhesive, Good Gone, Plastic scrapers, etc.....

    I have the -VHB- adhesive rubber wheel tool that one uses to remove sticker residue when removing emblems.
    When I redid the emblems I bought it think I would need it.
    Strangely it came off pretty dang clean and the minor remained , I just did a mild goo gone soak and the rest came right off

    Anyhow, might try this rubber wheel thing when the winter wheels come off (there is 2 wheels that have the -leftover sticker- wheel weight)

    Just curious . Just short of above listed, is there any other -tools- you guys use when removing Wheel Weight Stickers

    Those are the main line up. Sometimes a little heat helps if the residue feels like dried epoxy.
    I usually start with goo gone (or equivalent) and let it soak for a few minutes and then agitate with a cotton terry. If that’s not going the way I want, then rubber wheel to the rescue!

    Re: What do you use to remove wheel weight stickers

    Last time I cleaned my wheels because I had the tire place redo the weights to hide them behind spokes, I used Goo Gone but I also wanted the wheel interiors completely cleaned so I used a green Scothbrite pad with Stoner Tarminator cleaner and that got the inside of the wheels completely clean, amazingly clean. These were older wheels though so newer wheels may not need that treatment.

    Last time I did this, I used Carpro TarX.

    Also look at Stoner's Tarminator and Koch Chemie Ulex (very strong).

    DFB, I put Xenit but it was Tarminator. Thanks. It cleaned the interior of the wheel very well.
