3M Stripe Off Wheel Adhesive Remover Eraser Removes Decals, Stripes, Vinyl, Tapes and Graphics 4” diameter x 5/8” thick 3/8-16 threaded mandrel 07498 Pack of 1

A year ago I turned a little too tightly around a painted pillar in a car park and the paint rubbed off on my car. I tried to get it off a few times unsuccessfully. I stumbled on this and hoped it would do the tick, and it did. In less than 10 minutes on a cordless drill I was able to remove the paint without a single scratch or scuff. Pretty amazing.

The previous owner of my car had installed a clear film protector on the hood and fenders. It has recently started to look pretty beat up so I peeled the film off but nearly all the adhesive was left on the car. Tried using goo gone automotive cleaner and that did next to nothing. With this wheel and a couple passes over the adhesive I got all of it off! I am so impressed! I did find that it leaves a thin film and rather than trying to use the wheel for all of it a combination of the goo gone and the wheel worked great. I will definitely be de-badging future vehicles with this. Would still recommend polish and wax after using this product. Just for reference it took me about 2 hours to do 3 passes and I only used about 1/4 of the wheel.

Works really well on old stickers

Le produit est de bonne qualité mais malheureusement celui-ci ne fonctionne pas du tout pour enlever des bandes adhésives 3M qui sont bien collées et qui ont durée dans le temps. Par exemple, j'ai collé des bandes adhésives 3M sur des lames (bas de caisse) et celles-ci ont durée dans le temps. En essayant la meule, celle-ci enlève que dalle.

I cannot stress how effective and timesaving this 3m stripe off wheel is. Finally a tool that lives up to the description. It has removed the red vinyl reflective tape from round the rear doors of a transit van, then yellow on one side x2 lines and silver on bonnet and upper roof panel in a couple of hours using a cordless drill, started with slowest speed and just increased till it was working efficiently. No glue residue left behind just clean paintwork. Day 2 showed it will also work on Diamond Grade ECE 104 Reflective Tape and similar honeycomb reflective tape. Mine was double layered so the glue residue left behind after 3m wheel use needed softening with tar remover, the thick removed with a plastic scraper, then wiped over with a microfibre cloth and tar remover. Van is now back to stock and just needs a wash and polish. This 3m wheel is worth the cost, and it still has life in it for another job and another day.

Purchased to remove vinyl stripes on my Ford. Worked well. Take care on any plastic bumpers - it did take paint off for me but was due to my technique. No problems on the metal panels.
