Removing old graphics

[taoist]

I'm in the process of removing an old graphic (boat name and hailing port). With a heat gun and plastic scraper have been able to get off all of the lettering. Any ideas about how to remove the leftover vinyl? Don't want to damage the Awlgripped finish. Acetone, alcohol, thinner, etc.? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Some kinda solvent

Don’t work in the sun

No abrasives

3m adhesive remover works on most residues

Give it a try

Another residue remover is butter ... yes butter

Mush it on and let it sit for a while

Get a roll off from an auto body supply store

I would try mineral spirits first. Use a sponge and let it soak a little, the best part is it dosen't evaporate quickly.

WD40.

3m adhesive remover works far better than Goofoff, wx40, etc. it’s a miracle.

Easy Off oven cleaner works well.

+1 for these, worked a treat on my old hull stripes, then wiped over with Goo Gone and all done. Not sure how it would work with the Awlgrip thoough.

Many thanks to one and all for the advice. Probably should have gone with the 3M but store didn't have it and not much open around here right now. Went with the goofoff and with a lot of elbow grease it did the job.

Agreed, close to the best $20 I ever spent.
