TIA

Label Remover.

Citric acid plays a big part in it. You could try lemon juice, I guess...

My garage uses a kind of rotating rubber on the end of a drill.

When I first saw it I was a little concerned, but its does a great job and does not mark the alloy at all.

Bizarrely, I used AJAX window cleaner. Worked for me.

Halfords = AutoGlym Tar & Glue remover.

Internet (or ring around) = Orchard AutoCare Tar Cleanse (its very gel like so dosnt run off, stays in place), Tardis etc

If you get a more liquid one (like Tardis) then spray/dab carefully so it dosn't go on the other wheel wheels are soften them.
