failing that, just put a bigger sticker over it of a brand you like.

I'd start with the T cut and avoid the wet and dry unless totally desperate.

Thanks Rupert

No I haven't. After I posted this I read something about using 600 wet and dry to rub it down but not sure what I'd finish the job with after that. Maybe T Cut...

Have you tried rubbing compounds? T Cut, maybe, though I'm sure someone can remember a brand more suited to GRP. Faracla make some, I know.

Hi

I've bought a second hand Laser and the previous owner had some horrible 'ANIMAL' brand decals on the bow. I've carefully removed these but where they have been on there for so long they have bleached the hull and left a nasty off white version of the decal design. 

What steps can I take to try and get rid of these? Can it be cleaned or will I have to re-coat the whole hull?

Thanks in advance

Steve
