So I removed the stickers on a set of Bontrager Ranger wheels, but they’ve left behind a sticky residue. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I’ve scrubbed it with degreaser to no avail. This has me puzzled.

WD40 or GT85 will get it off, Something to do with the propellant in the can iirc.

Use a hair dryer to heat it and the rub.. Works for me ?!

IPA/ethanol/vodka/wd40/GT85 etc etc. Warm soapy water will do it but not as well.

Wow, quick responses. Thanks. I’ll give those a try.

Isopropyl alcohol. Great for sticky stuff, brake discs, car windscreen, chrome finished light switches, babys high chair……..

do not use this if your wheels, or anything else are painted instead of anodized. The active ingredient is acetone and it will eat paint and any plastics and rubbers.

IPA is pretty safe.

Always useful to have some Isopropyl about, electrical contact cleaner is another name it goes under. Should be able to find it in spray cans in b&q or similar

Ronsonol lighter fluid works for me.

Isopropyl alcohol. Great for….

…babys

A little strong, don’t you think?

Sticky stuff remover is the best for this

Disc brake cleaner does the trick lovely.

Lighter fluid.

Mayonnaise. No seriously.

I was doing this yesterday! GT85 isn’t sufficient. I found the best thing was white spirit, applied liberally, and use a rough cloth – I used a flannel, to actually wipe it away. Took about 15mins to do the wheel

As jonk says, the very aptly named sticky stuff remover. Effective and as far as I’ve ever found, harmless.
