Got the sideart off this past week. I stuggled with the first side, scraping it off with a razor blade, but it left all the sticky goo. I had heard good things about Citristip here so I decided to try it. It took off all the goo in about a half hour.

I then decided to try it right on the sideart of the other side. After about an hour I tried scraping it off with a putty knife and it started so I applied more Citristrip and left it for another hour. It then all came off easily with a putty knife. Good stuff.

I started the sanding and bondo application to fix the dents and scrapes. The bottom side both have water damage so I'm going to replace about 4" on both sides. - Barry
