Cabin striping

Our green stripe along the cabin has started coming off and is leaving an ugly glue stripe. Had a few small sections with green vinyl stripe missing and glue showing, but pressure washing really did it in.
Does anyone know what will remove that glue? Tried Goof-off Next to try; acetone, MEK, lacquer thinner.
Suggestions?

WD-40 is supposed to work on glue. A little gentler than your other options

I removed the cabin striping using a "3M Stripe off wheel" its a rubbery thing that goes on a drill, it removed it very quickly and left no glue, I bet it will work on just glue too. I had to get it online as no stores had it, I have heard car painters might but online was easy too.

Tried multiple products on mine and none worked well until I tried this stuff. It works great.

Was planning to use a heat gun & plastic decal removing blade to remove mine. Glad to hear that the turtle wax product works well. Ordered the replacement stripes directly thru Beneteau's online replacement parts system.

I removed the stripe along the cabin using a hair dryer (rather than a heat gun that gets very hot) and any glue left was perfectly removed using acetone.
