    I recently used one of these to get adhesive off the backside of a car door plastic trim strip that had fallen off and the metal on the door itself. 3M has the best one at $40 but I bought the cheapo for $6 on Amazon. After a little experimentation with drill speed, it cleaned up both surfaces beautifully so I could put on new adhesive tape and reattach the strip. For my purposes, slower drill speed seemed to work better; if I went too fast it sort of melted the adhesive and made a bit of a mess. At slower speed, it just rubbed everything off like a big eraser.

    I just watched this video and went to Amazon to look for it. Then I saw your review. Lol! It was like it was meant to be. I would have gone with the heat gun and razor blades, but not anymore!
    Thanks!

    I used a specific blade scraper, and it shaved stickers and glue clean without a scratch. Then a cloth with ethanol, all perfect. No chips all over my glasses

    Really interesting; I have a lot of tools but have never seen or heard of those wheels. My first though would be to use heat. A heat gun might be too much for the fiberglass but a blow dryer might be just about right. Thanks for the video.

    Very impressive and that the gel coat did not require any touch up like compound or wetsand (3000 grit). It would be interesting to see it tried on some other boats where the material or age might be different.

    Tim. Many years ago I had to remove many layers of bottom paint without damaging the gel coat. Someone just slapped layer on layer without removing anything beneath. I haven't seen these since but we used something akin to a flapper sanding wheel but instead of sanding flaps, they had many stiff, almost thick wire metal, or thin rods, fixed with loops so they could move and flex. Spinning they essentially "shattered" the paint so multiple layers would fly off. Impossible to sand in our lifetime (the paper clogs regardless). They do not work well if the paint is a thin layer well adhered. Back to sanding for that. FYI

    What is the name of the rubber wheel product and where can you buy them?

    I would have left the blank space in the front and moved the registration numbers up to where the strip was.

    I used a scrap pice of acrylic to scrape off resin stickers etc off gel coat. Just a sharp edge square or beveled. If you have some acrylic. Otherwise eraser wheel.

    On the internet the wheels are identified as “decal removers”. There are several brands and styles.

    Damn, I should have seen this before!

    That's interesting. The wheel looks like it uses friction to heat and then melt the vinyl to strip it. Huh. Clever. Thanks, PS. Far winds

    Be aware that the product link in the referenced video is to Amazon Canada, not the US. I can and is causing problems if you do not live in Canada.

    It looked like a big spinning eraser.

    Thanks for the info. I need to remove some 40 year old pinstripe from my boat. Where can I get the vented wheel? And the plastic razor blades?
    Also, do you know where to order new pinstripe (my boat is now no longer built in this color scheme)?

    xylene solvent. where are chemical resistant gloves and your eye protection. a dampened paper towel wiped across the vinyl stickers and they will peel right off. use clean paper towel with solvent to wipe up the residue. keep using clean paper towels don't use a rag you will spread the adhesive all over the boat. usually no buffing required.

    Duh? Why not just use masking tape and paint full length stripes?
