Remove wheel weight sticker residue with this drill attachment.

Published 2021-02-03
I recently got new tires on the Acura NSX, and that required removing old wheel weights. The tire installer removed the old wheel weights but left the original double sided adhesive on the wheels that held the wheel weights in place. In addition to the wheel weights that were just removed, there was still old wheel weight sticker residue on the wheels from the previous driver. See my new tire video:    • NSX tire swap.  From Summer tires to ...  

I decided to purchase a Decal Remover Eraser Wheel and use some Goo Gone Automotive solvent in order to complete the task. With this tool, I removed wheel weight sticker residue with a drill attachment. Links to the products I used are below, for your convenience:

    The 1 dislike is from the previous owner who scratched the wheels.
  • @sickmansgas483
    Steamer works well too. Used a steamer and eraser wheel for my badging on my truck and wheel weights.
  • @darrenlub
    Its too bad tire installers take no care in cleaning up the double sided tape residue when the weights are removed. Time is money i suppose. Great video, still baffles the tin cans in my head that this attachment causes no damage to painted surfaces.
  • Great subject matter, Pat! I really don’t like seeing that old adhesive, but I didn’t know what to do.
  • @shanepowell4720
    Did that to my explorer couple months ago worked real well. Wish the shops would do that. Mine was real close to spokes. That is great video.
  • @brijkotecha8300
    Good video. Going to show it to my local garage, attention to detail counts👌🏽
  • @druleaspataru3441
    Alternatively, spray some brake cleaner on a piece of cloth and with that piece moist the rubber patch until you can scratch it with your fingernail, repeat the process for adhesive using a metalic kitchen sponge. Apply some anti-rust spray and polish with a soft cloth.
  • @volt6008
    Tired of scratching people rims up ! Dealership would not get something else so I’ll do this my self !
  • @randygilmore1337
    Brake cleaner and a microfiber will take the foam and adhesive right off with quickness.
  • Does it also heat up the adhesive with friction, or is it just gentle mechanical removal with the rubber wheel?
  • @gtuttle4
    I'm looking for some cabinets for my garage, I really like yours, what kind are they? Can you share a link?
  • @petercarey6883
    What a great device Pat. As to your wheels, were they painted right from the factory? Save the Wave👋
  • @girtsupenieks
    So much balance weight. You should check if wheels are not bent.
