Subject: Removing decals from race wheels

I got a set of "new to me" race wheels, and I'm wanting to go with the stealth look.  I've pulled all of the decals off of it, but there is sticker residue on the carbon.

Normally, I'd just grab something like Goof-Off and use that, but I'm not sure how those types of solvents react with the resin on carbon wheels (last thing I need to do is ruin a set of wheels trying to remove sticker glue), so I'm asking.... for those of you that have done it, what did you use and how were your results?

Zipp recommends using acetone or Goof Off to remove tubular glue, so I'd assume that you'd be good to go.

Awesome, I didn't know that... thanks!

 

I'll give rubbing alcohol a try, too.
