for starters it'll be easier to take them off. personally i'd start with megs super degreaser cut to 10 - 1 and a toothbrush. then if this isn't strong enough decrease cut to 4 - 1. this should then have much more of an effect. with anything that's left which will probably be tar, autosmart tardis (tar and glue remover) then follow up with a good body shampoo, clay bar and perhaps a slight polish with something like menzerna intensive polish on the white side of a german applicator pad. finish by sealing them with a good wheel sealant such as poorboys wheel sealant.
