tips on removiing graphics/stickers

[tommyortom]

this is for my jetski by the way...but should be the same principal,,,,

in a few weeks, i want to begin removing all of the stickers from my 1984 Kawasaki 550.

anything i can do to ease the process of removing the blue and silver graphics? they are the stock ones, and i just think they are ugly. so if there is anything besides heating them up, a razor blade, and go-gone that will make this easier, let me know.

jetskis have a gel coat finish, and not regular automotive paint by the way......and im surpised that it still shines so well for being 21 years old, even though jetskis are used 3-4 months a year and are covered up for the rest of the time. im pretty sure once i get the graphics off that its gonna be alot more shiny, so hopefully some rubbing compound and wax will blend it all together.

don't use goo gone, use oops, it works a ton better.

Im not too familiar with working on boat pant, but I am guessing when you pull off the graphics, you are gonna get a nice line that is brighter than the rest of the jet ski.

when i asked how to remove the "dealer sticker" off the back of my car, they said to use a blow dryer and it would come off, not sure if that would apply to anything like this or not, but it might be worth mentioning?
