Recently I reluctantly used fix-a-flat on a tire, after replacing the tire at my local tire retailer my white rim was covered in fix-a-flat . I then went home to attempt to remove the substance with three different products- Goo Gone, 3M adheisive remover, and Gunk's Tar and Bug remover, all failed. I'm not sure what else to use without damaging the wheel's painted surface. Anybody w/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated b/c rolling around w/ dirty white shoes bugs the perfectionist inside me.

 

*bump*
Any guys that are knowledgable about paint? Anyone?

 

Try using something with ammonia and let it soak for awhile.

 

^Tried, doesn't work. I'm still up for suggestions!

 

How hard is it on( does it feel like Solid? or still pliable)- heat might work, or you could use the Gel paint remover, but those might eat off paint too.

 

The stuff you mentioned are pretty mild adhesive removers.

 

I know because Fix-a-Flat is an adhesive. To answer the last Q, it's a very thin layer coating on the rim.

 

I would try a heat gun to see if it gets viscous enough to remove it.

 

Then use what? One of the products as before?

 

a hard plastic scraper to pull off the goo, while you use the heat gun.
