Wheel weight adhesive - solution!
Finally got around to cleaning off the ugly gunk from the old wheel weights. I tried just about everything and there was absolutely nothing that didnt involve 15-30 mins of scraping per glue patch, meaning an hour or so per wheel.
Sure enough i gave up after the first one went out to a local auto parts store to spend $35 on the 3M adhesive eraser wheel that you attach to a drill (P/N 03612).
INCREDIBLE! Took the gunk off in seconds and with no effort at all. I am in no way affiliated with 3M but i had to share. Works like a charm.

I was very weary, so it took some courage before i finally hit it full speed, but all good. No trace of it. Though my wheels are gunmetal and don’t show swirling, not sure how it’d look on a black painted wheel.
