I pulled my decals off my boat and now i need to clean the adhesive off. I bought some adhesive remover and it's working ok but i feel there has to be an easier way. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions.

3M adhesive remover, from any auto paint store...Works good

I used Goof Off and terri cloth towels. The glue will build up in the towel after a few minutes. Just flip the towel to a clean spot. It worked great for me.

Hey G. next time try some P&S wax, works great and wont damage the gelcoat

Believe it or not, lighter fluid works really well. I just peeled off some stickers a few minutes ago, applied some lighter fluid on the end of a towel over my fingers and after a few strokes the glue came right off. Learned that trick a few years ago. Cheap too.

all of the above chemicals and serious elbow grease.... we pushed real hard with carbon fiber rags and goof off and it worked... just need to use some elbow grease...

I second the lighter fluid deal. I've been using it for years to remove sticker goo. <BR> <BR>It also works great to clean up oil stains in the driveway.

Mineral oil. Works great and is safe.

Ditto on the Goof Off. I used it on my registration #'s and it worked great
