METHOD OF APPLYING WHEEL BALANCING WEIGHTS

摘要

A method of applying a wheel balancing weight to a vehicle wheel. The method comprises providing a vehicle wheel having a tire mounted on a wheel rim; providing a wheel balancing weight having a back surface, with a pressure sensitive adhesive attached to the back surface; providing a cleaning fluid applicator; cleaning a surface of the wheel rim using the cleaning fluid applicator; and adhering the wheel balancing weight to the cleaned surface of the wheel rim. The cleaning fluid applicator comprises a bottle containing a cleaning fluid, a pressure activated valve, and a non- woven abrasive pad that is sufficiently compressible so as to activate the valve when compressed and porous enough to allow the cleaning fluid to pass therethrough and onto a surface to be prepared for adhesive bonding or otherwise cleaned.
