My new to me 2021 ST is awesome and looks great, with the exception of left-over wheel weight adhesive on the barrels of the wheels. Best way to remove without damage? Heat and plastic "putty knife"?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Any aerosol adhesive remover or Goo Gone. Don’t overthink it.

Goo Gone and a plastic razor will make it a breeze to remove. Just don't forget to rinse off the Goo Gone when done. Don't go too hard, as the wheels swirl/scratch easily.

They said it, any goo remover and some patience if you care not to scratch things.

I use a plastic scraper and keep soaking the adhesive with mineral spirits while I scrape at it.

Yall work too hard with scrapers and stuff. Spray it with Goof Off…come back in 10 minutes and wipe it off with a rag.
