I used one of these too. Amazing tool.

Is this thing basically creating just enough friction/heat to soften the glue without burning the clearcoat?

i bought one of these things and it didn't work well for me. it kept wanting to jump and bounce around. maybe you bought the right product and i got a knockoff... i was hesitant to keep using it for fear of scuffing my paint.

Kind of, it is very sticking, so in theory it should pull the tape off your car before it begins to do any sort of heat damage to your car.

It is like using a hair dryer and something to pull it off all at the same time.

Nice, I did not think about the wheel weights, but shops do all my wheel/tire work so idk how they get it off.

I removed my OEM spoiler yesterday and installed a carbon fiber high kick spoiler. I couldn't imagine how long it would have taken me to remove the tape/residue without the rubber adhesive removal tool. Worth every penny and only took me about 20 minutes.

Thanks for the tip!

Interesting. That looks scary though. Goo Gone dissolves that gummy stuff pretty good and wipes right off.

Nothing to worry about. Using the wheel did no damage to the paint at all. Safe and effective.

Yup, I've used it before to remove 3M tape and tar from cars. Wipes right off.

At first I read the title and thought it was going to be a magic bullet for Betalink adhesive.

But it's just for tape. Womp-womp.

Wheel works great though, I use them all the time.

No scare. It is basically a rubbery sticky circle.

3M’s adhesive remover, although a bit spendy, works great too. I used it to remove the clear bra residue off my front bumper and it pretty much wiped right off by hand with a cloth.
