We tried the eraser wheel, not much luck... It worked a little but chewed the wheel up fast.

X2 on what everyone else has said. Fastest way is the heat gun/hair dryer. The heat softens the gluebond and allows you to pull the stripe away from the hull. Single edge razor blades help in difficult spots, and the Goo-Gone works as a nice finishing "wash" to make sure that all residue of the glue is gone.

I found that the Eraser wheel doesn't work on any stickers or decals that are very old and cracked. It seems to be designed for decals that still have "stickiness" to them and haven't oxidized to the boat or car or whatever it is you're trying to remove them from. I had to rely mostly on the tried and true razor blade. Hands hurt like hell after I was done but I love the finished product.

The funny thing is on my v I blew them off with a pressure washer and then used a citrus solvent to remove adhesive. The eraser wheels he has are like a light brown color and they kick a$$!!!!

I tried the razor blade, heat thing lots of work. WD-40 let it soak a minute or two and a razor scraper and it came off super easy whole boat in a hour. It took me a hour to do 3 feet. WD-40 is all I can say.

SURFER, I originally tried the old trick of WD-40. I don't know if it was because my decals had oxidized or what, but I couldn't get it to work for me. I am however still a true believer in the old saying that you only need 2 things in your tool box. Duct tape and WD-40.
