one for the experts here :wink: had my new tyres put on today but noticed that they have had to remove the original weights and the new ones are in a different position and now i have the adhesive etc left on the alloys which will more than likely p!ss me off :grin: so can you suggest the decent way of getting this off will more than likely have the wheels off at the weekend to do it
thanks in advance

A good wheel or all purpose cleaner should do it with a bit of elbow grease.

Would Autosol be too harsh?

tar and glue remover :wink: you may have to soak it for a while but it will shift eventually.

Bilberry may get rid of it, but you will have more joy with this:

Just use a hairdryer to warm it up and then remove when warm. The guy at the tyre bay by me warms up the wheel with a hairdryer before fitting. Cheers Deano

yes... as Dan and Chris said... Tar & Citrus remover ftw
if you are having to scrub the balls out of it then you need to be using something else

I use Ambersil label remover for such things.
I had adhesive marks on the inside of the windows where the alarm stickers were. A little spray of this and it came off with no fuss (plus it has a nice orangey smell :smiley:)
It also worked to get rid of the adhesive pads that hold numberplates on.
