After replacing tyres I have been left with the sticky foam stuff where the old balance weights used to be. Any advice on what to use to clean these off?

WD40 is worth a go, if not a wheel cleaning agent should remove it, or white spirit,

As with most glues, if you warm them they will release. then some Panel Wipe or similar spirit to remove residue.

Borrow a bottle of your wife's or girlfriends nail polish remover that will remove the glue,

Hi all

White Spirit will do the job of removing glue residue of most surfaces without harming them.
