My boat is gel, but I used Acetone, it's cheap and worked really well.

I use WD-40

3m makes a glue remover, spray on wipe off. You can get it at most paint supply places. I can look tomorrow and get the numbers off the spray can.

Guys. Where do you come up with this stuff? Acetone???? Read the label. Specific useage and wow, look at the ingredients and warnings. I thought for a minute that I was on Speedbake.

I dont know if its too late or not, but if they are vinyl stickers, use an eraser wheel! It can be found at most auto parts stores in the body/paint section or any auto paint house should have them. Looks like a disk about 4-5"diameter, 5/8ish thick, has arbor to chuck up into a drill and is made of pencil eraser type material! Works awesome! Never will I attempt to use a heat gun or solvent ever again, does not damage paint and works fast. Good luck.

Thick rubber gloves and the proper mask, I came up with mine from Tapplastics.com and JamestownTV these are commercial sites on proper use.

Goo Gone will work on the adhesive as well. Works better if you use the spray bottle, give it a few squirts, let it soak and then wipe it off.

i used to use it by the quart, 3M has discontinued it, it was 083380.. use a product called rapid remover, smells like oranges and 100% biodegradable.. just rub it on and let it work, wipe off the adhesive. clean up is a breeze.
