removing stickers and sticker stains
 
I have a hugh ugly wellcraft sticker across my center console on both sides. I would like to remove it. There is a sticker under the one that you can still see an imprint from. I have at least two layers of stickers that weren't correctly removed on my hull.

Can I remove that sticker imprint or stain.

I use a hair dryer to remove stickers usually. I think the wellcraft sticker will look better then a hugh wellcraft impact/stain

If I run my hand over the area where the old sticker was I can feel that area raise a little.

here is my ugly sticker

If you take that one off you will have a big sun shadow outline where the other one was even if you clean it up and use acetone it will still be there. If you buff it out with a good light rubbing compound it will get most of it but it is still there. I just did the same thing on my 24 coastal and I still had a shadow so I had a computer graphic place do up a name the size of the old wellcraft sticker that I could live with...Polar , Whaler and Robolo have stickers that run almost all the way down the hull and look like shi$...I know a guy who just ordered a new Polar 27 with out the decals .....Frank

I had a painted on shark on the side of my boat when i purchased it. I removed the paint with lacquer thinner. I then sanded the area lightly with 600 grit wet sand paper. I then used a 3m product to remove any left over oxzidation and to polish the hull. A hair dryer should be able to remove the sticker and then the thinner and polish. Good luck post pictures!

Had old faded half worn off logos on both sides. I used acetone and rubbing compound. I'll buy new ones and put'm on...sooner or later.

I used some sticker remover from the hardware store. Has an orange scent to it. Took my pin stripes off in minutes.
