Hi i'm having real trouble trying to remove the black double sided tape that is used on the bottom of stick on wheel weights.

Ive tried some tar and glue remover from work and it did help but took ages and I still haven't got one complete bit of one wheel so whats the best stuff to use as some prat has put the wheel weights on the frojnt of the wheel.

 

use a toffee wheel or panel wipe,

 

Is a toffee wheel one of them rubber things you put in a drill (toffee coloured) and panel wipe and petrol is the same yeah lol

 

yes to the toffee wheel, also smells like toffee strangely,
anel wipe isnt the same as petrol but yes petrol would do the same job but i cant garentee petrol wont damage the paint

 

Dont worry I wont sue you if it does, the wheels aren't great just want the black stuff off, and thanks for the quick replys.

 

Autosmart Tardis.

 

Autoglym tar remover is good

 

I used to have some autoglym, didnt think much to it but it was a few years old.

 

try thinners????

 

As above thinners will get it straight off! Can't promise it won't affect the paint though..

 

Tardis!

 

nitro i would have thought....what painters use t clean their pistols....but then again paint might suffer.

 

Petrol will do the job

 

lighter fluid or petrol

 

I bought/used some autoglym tar remover yesterday on some sticky stuff that was used to put light brows on headlights, it got the sticky tape residue off after a few mins, just have to apply it and leave it to work for a couple of minutes, then you probably have to apply some more, but it does work after abit of rubbing. Good thing about buying the autoglym is that is has more than one use

 

Autosmart Tardis also

 

Thanks for all your help but I ended up selling the car before I even got round to doing it lol.

saved me some time any way.

 

methylated spirit works on alot of sticky stuff, used it when debadging my escort all those years ago!
