Thank god I’m just working my notice
Destickering these wheels was more of a pain than I thought. I found the best way was heating the edge of the sticker for a while with hair dryer, using a tyre lever to get an edge up and pulling off by a couple cm, then heating the sticker ahead with the dryer and slowly pulling off. Without the heat the top layer separated from the back layer, and it took a lot of heating to ‘melt’ the adhesive.
Used degreaser to clean off the adhesive residue from before I got that process down, couldnt find white spirit nor wd40 which I’m certain we have somewhere.
