I started with 3M, have used it many times before on smaller projects and I think is just OK. I guess it's safe on painted surfaces but it don't work near as well as lacquer thinner.

DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER !!!!!!
it will damage your tires.
How can lacquer thinner damage tires when it never touches them?
On a polished wheel Lacquer thinner is the way to go. Now if the wheel is clear coated/painted THEN be careful with solvents!

The 3M adhesive remover I have is in a 1 pint metal container, kinda like what you would buy acetone in at the hardware store. This spray stuff I have never used.
