Default how to remove bow roller marks

Last weekend we had to use a very steep ramp since the water was so high. What happened was the boat rolled on the bow roller leaving rollermarks. How can I remove that rubber off the boat? Tryed wd40 already..

Will wipe right of with a little acetone also. It will strip the wax so you'll need to reapply wax where you cleaned it.

See if you can find some plastic razor blades. They are great for such. They are very hard to find though. I found them last at Boat Owners Warehouse in FL. You could try a plastic putty knife too! Just be careful.

we use simple green at our shop plus a terry cloth rag,also if you go buy the little white, booty socks for tennis shoes they will pull over the rollers and stop the black marks.
