Max,

Yep, forgot about the stripe removal tool.

However that floopy rubber disc, unit by 3-M doesn't , won't cut the
dried up contact as well as the solid orange rubber wheel, known as the
"Stripe Eliminator", by magna Produts, of Manteca California.
Phone number, 209-239-9191---
same principal, same operation, just a little bit heavier duty, and will
go a bit farther before it wears out.

I just saw a yellow rubber  3-M wheel last week that they just came out
with, and it is a bit larger, and should last a little longer.

The price of these stripe and glue eliminators is about $30.00,
expensive but fast, and they work very well.

The problem with using any of these three products on older fiberglass
is that they might  leave a polished mark on the faded fiberglass, which
may look stupid.
Might have to rub out the whole top, but who say's that's bad? :>)

Forced Fun?

Later,
