Location: Minnesota. | Not positive it will work on dock marks but "Ducky" is good on removing water stains on rigs before you polish/wax. Might give it a try as it's slightly caustic (think vinegar/water dilute) and doubt it'll hurt you decals.
Come to think of it, you might even try some white vinegar/water solution and save the purchase....cheap! If it doesn't help try the Ducky.
Best I can do from here. Good luck. |

Location: Central Wisconsin | Possibly by LIGHTLY polishing on them with a rotary buffer and fine compound. Do not go at more than 800rpm and dont stay in one spot long enough to heat it up too much. It can be somewhat touchy, but it is easily possible. |

| Boat Scuff Eraser by Star Brite. Cheap and works good. No clue if it'll work on a decal. |

Location: WI | Magic Eraser does NOT work to remove dock scuffs from painted aluminum boats. I tried it, only made a bigger mess. I'll be trying the nail polish remover. |

I just used it on my white Lowe. Got off a bunch of stuff that Aluma Kleen didn't. Some of it was dock marks. |
