Who all has removed the graphics from their boat and what did you use to do so?

I have removed some. I used a plastic scraper and WD40 to get the glue off. I think someone else here said a hair dryer to heat the decal up worked pretty well.

I gently used a straight razor to lift an edge, then I used my hands to pull while applying a heat gun to the graphic still stuck to the boat just after the portion of the sticker that has been lifted off. Once the sticker was removed I used acetone to remove any glue residue.

I used a heat gun (Harbor Freight) on the low setting, a razor, and Goof off to remove the adhesive. I have a slight difference in the color (white) from where the sticker was but these stickers were on since 2001.

Anyone have a space blue 24'er with no graphics? About every other week I think about pulling mine.

Not space blue, but yacht blue?

I just wiped a little acetone over everything and pulled em off, Rob. Easy peasy.
