Q – I just had new tires installed on my 86 Carrera and when I took the car to the tire store, after they balanced the tires, they left the old adhesive on the wheel. What do you use to get that off? David

A – Try “Goo Gone” to remove the old adhesive.   It may take some elbow grease but be patient and do not use an abrasive to save time. As an aside to that adhesive problem, if you have clods of tar on the wheels, you can use an ice cube to chill them and then they pop right off the finish when you nudge them with a Popsicle stick or a Teflon spatula. Don’t use anything hard or sharp. – MC
