Definitely making an impact with your buffing efforts. While this is a bit of work, the immediate results are quite rewarding. A little heat from a hair dryer or heat gun will allow you to peel those stickers up to see where you need to get that shine to match.

Good tip. I do see the shine under some of the decals. I have a heat gun, but I hope the stripe off wheel works good.

I haven't used a wheel before. Be cautious with the heat gun. If the decals get too hot they can get brittle.

We only tried the stripe off wheel and worked mint! I think it will take 1hr to get them all off with this method.

Can't argue with that.

We only removed the transom decal. The gelcoat under the decal was raised compared to the rest of the surface. I wetsanded with 1000 then 1500 to level it. Buffed it out and looks pretty good.

Sounds like you have things pretty much under control.

I've been doing some reading...LOL. This is my first time ever buffing/sanding. We'll see how it turns out!

I had never buffed anything before I got my boat either. Amazing what a guy can learn here. This site is a fantastic resource. If there isn't already a great write-up on the subject you are interested in, there are a dozen guys who just did it and have tons of advice.

Stripped the remaining decals off. It took about an hour with the 3M stripe off wheel.
I installed new wheel cylinders last night. They sent me the wrong master. Co-worker gave me some durablocks, 600, 1000, 1500 as I need to work on a few areas. Looks like rain in the forecast for this weekend. Also, I'll be installing a new radiator and tranny cooler in the SUV this weekend.
