Wheel weights
Just put on new GY's, balance and alignment. Drives like new again. Old tires had 27k miles.
Anyway, whats the best way to remove that leftover sticky papery crap from the old weights?? I was thinking of Goo gone or whatever??
Thanx in advance folks

Read whatever you use and check for warnings for the metal your putting it on.
I dont want to say what I would use because its probably not meant for Chrome... but I'm impatient... after its off I re-clean and re-polish

Goo Gone or WD40 may help - it's probably just going to take a bit of rubbing. If you work at it long enough you can get all of the residue off.

Goo gone is harsh stuff. I use 100% alchohol and rub hard. I had Goo gone eat paint on an '89 Mustang - ruined an entire area on a fender.

"Goof Off" works very well too; just rember to rinse when done!
