I followed your process with paper towels soaked with mineral spirits. Only change was using black plastic bags to cover on a sunny 72 degree day. Left overnight. The residue scraped up with NO EFFORT at all! Thanks for the heads up on how to remove!
I did the soak on my boat over night. It didn’t work as well as this shows. My pad are about 5 years old. I pealed all of the pads using an oscillating tool with an adhesive removal tool. Then I had to come back over with the adhesive 3m wheel which turned the glue to little balls. Then cleaned it all with the acetone. It came out great.

Yep, this is how we do it and save customers lots of money on the removal.
Seeing how easy you make the removal look and good the finished look is, kinda makes me want it.
It's really not that tough to remove if you use this treatment and the finished product is glorious!!
Great video. Wish I would have seen this video 2 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of time.
Yeah, wish we'd have done it then too. But you learn new techniques and publish findings when time allows. Glad to have been able to share this.

I think our team has had to soak twice on some jobs. Its rare but it has happened.
Body solvent works great too and doesn’t etch the gelcoat not sure if acetone etched the gelcoat but I would think it would
Any tips if you don’t have 24 hours to soak it (would be driving to a client 2 hours away)
Plastic razor blade would be easier Thant the wrap/tint tool
Did you mention this process will work to remove the baked on backing from old snap in carpet?
Not sure if it will, but likely it will.
@@JetBoatPilot copy that. Thanks.

Why would u put more Yamaha brand decking on when it was a problem to start with ?
It was not a problem. The customer wanted a different style. Plus we upgraded the decking material to SeaDek which is superior in to the OEM pad.
Don’t fool peplum, why don’t you demonstrate with an older boat, like 2007. This is what people come across more
