Advice on removing the wheel weight sticky stuff......

[Al's 991]

Just had two new front tyres fitted and would like tips on how you would remove the sticky pads left after the old weights were removed.





Thanks.

You can get sticky stuff remover. Sometimes called label remover.
Halfords/B&Q/RS Components/Amazon. Useful stuff to have in the garage.

Autosmart Tardis is what you want.

WD40 works well with a little elbow grease

& a lighter.

Brake cleaner works a treat

I used some Stick Stuff Remover from Lakeland last week https://www.lakeland.co.uk/8976/Sticky-Stuff-Glue-Residue-and-Oil-Remover-250ml

It worked ok but ideally needs to sit on the sticky stuff for half an hour or so. Also had some Isopropyl alcohol which worked ok too.

This. Works for me!

[brad ukcarscene]

any general tar & glue remover should do the trick

Soak it in WD-40, I'd saturate a bit of paper towel and leave it sat on the sticky bit to stop it just running off and leave it for a while.

Angle grinder.

Angle grinder !! Try the angle grinder first ... then may be a bit of tar and glue remover followed by some TFR
