Removing registration stickers from boat?
Posted on 5/4/16 at 9:39 pm

I bought a new (to me) boat and it was registered in AL. Peeled the numbers off and there is a sticky area left. Any ideas what you use to get this off so I can put new numbers on? Tried boat soap and it didn't help. Trying not to hurt the clear coat...tia

Turtle Wax Label and Sticker Remover worked like a champ for my new to me boat. Just spray it on and wipe it off. You can buy it at AutoZone.

Zippo lighter fluid. Seriously.

I used a razor blade then paint thinner. Did this last week. Relax after

WD-40. Like it was never there!

3M adhesive remover. You can get it at industrial paint supply places.

Just had the exact same problem as you describe (from a boat registered in AL weirdly enough) and WD-40 worked like a champ. That stuff actually has all kinds of uses.

I also had a boat registered from Alabama and used rubbing alcohol to get it off. works like a champ and evaporates. I use it on all adhesive removing

IF you would have heated said stickers with a hair dryer/ heat gun they would have peeled off clean

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Going to give the alcohol a shot tonight because I already have some and see how it goes. Thanks again

Not to mention save him a lot of money on future boat repair bills.

Goo Gone or WD40 has always worked for me.

A 2012 Ranger Z118 with 150 Optimax. Had 99 hours and a year left on warranty. Pretty pumped up about it.
