Question: Does googone will resolve this? Is it worth a try to purchase the stuff?
Does it do a better job than the other two liquids I've used? Thank you!

I use automotive Goo Gone and the yellow plastic razor blades. Leave the GooGone on for 10 to 20 minutes. Add extra if you need too. The razor blade should then easily take it off. I also used a bamboo or wooden chopstick edge because I can get more leverage without scratching the finish of the wheel. I posted pics on here last year. I’ll see if I can find them.

I saw the Tire Shop use a bit of gasoline on a rag, came right off.

I hit it with a heat gun for a few seconds and it just rubs off with my finger, no mess.

I'm hoping by now the wheel weight stuff is gone. This is a great forum with lots of knowledgeable and helpful members. I'm the Goo Gone and plastic scraper guy. Been there, done that. Cheers!
