Sticky stuff

[Buzzbomb]

Hi all hope you clever bunch can help, I’ve recently replaced a rear tyre On my GS rallye with the “Gold and Spoke” option and the weights position has changed leaving a Sticky residue mess, in the past I’ve not had trouble removing this usually with WD40 or similar and rubbing but on this occasion it’s a bit stuck, any suggestions for a method that won’t effect the nice shine on my Goldilocks rims would be greatly appreciated, and no I’m not going to paint them black ta I like the gold Here’s hoping hey

Try a 3m's rubber wheel decal remover. Its a rubber disc that you put in a drill. Ive used one to removed stickers on car body panels and bike fairings. It will removed decals and glue without any damage.
