As already said, heat and peel, then acetone and you should be good to go. if they have been on a long time a good polish helps get rid of the shadow where there were in the gel.

Acetone is my wonder product, rub marks etc. Clean and wax afterward though.

eraser wheel...it can be used on gel or paint..... If it is faded around the numbers wet sand and buff and pray it gets it all out...what ever you do don't sit on your boat and drink and look at it from all angles... Cuz u will prob always see it a little bit.

If the numbers are painted on and the boat is not painted, Easy Off oven cleaner works the best. I know it sounds strange and I thought it was crazy the first time I heard about it but it works great. Took me all of about 15 minutes to remove mine earlier this year.

They are vinyl so it shouldn't be too bad. Heat, scrape, acetone, then apply the new ones.
