I assume when they "cleaned" the wheel, they checked for any corrosion around the rim and sanded it off? Also, new tire valves are sometimes bad.
If it's neither of those, depending upon the age of the tire I would guess it has cracks that are opening slightly when the tire is inflated, allowing some leakage. So I'd suggest going ahead and trying the tire goo ... it has worked at least once for me, and filling small cracks from the inside would seem to be just the ticket.
Extra-cautious types would probably say "no, don't use goo, get a replacement tire for safety's sake." But if I was that smart, I wouldn't own a Saab :)
