- 1). Heat the decal with a heat gun or blow dryer, melting the adhesive glue. Peel the decal off with your fingers, a plastic scraper or a plastic putty knife. Alternately, rub the decal off with a 3M Stripe-Off Wheel attached to a power drill. This will remove the decal without damaging the surface of the boat.
- 2). Wipe off the remaining adhesive with acetone, Goo Gone, WD-40, Goof Off, mineral spirits or a commercial adhesive remover and a white rag.
- 3). Buff and shine the surface once you remove all adhesive to remove or eliminate any remaining "ghost" outline of the decal or lettering.
