Doug--

Have you ever tried using a product by Easy strip "paint and varnish remover"? it's sold at any home depot and the stuff works wonders. -- it's real caustic and noxious-- It is identical to interlux's "interstrip" remover. paint it on with a cheapo chip brush and it will remove any kind of decal/sticker residue. I used it to remove all the decals and pin striping on my v20 with good results. one thing I noticed when using the stuff is that You must glob it on the vinyl decal or residue, then leave and let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes then come back with a putty knife and it scrapes off real easy. The gel coat underneath the decals will be virgin and there may be a slight difference in the old oxidized glass when compared to new shiny virgin gelcoat. that's when you gotta hit it up with some 3M heavy duty rubbing compound to get the new and old gelcoat to blend in terms of shine and lustre. finish with wax.

if this don't work...then go with wet sanding.

hope this helps.
