Neil, Get the 3M wheel for sure. It works great. I have used this many times on boats and cars. You don't need to get a solvent as there should not be any residual adhesive. It all comes off. I replaced the "HARMONY" on my transom this spring due to fading. Took 10 minutes to remove the old decal. I used a few squirts of "Awesome" cleaner from the dollar store, then put the new decal on. No mess. Just be careful to use a variable speed drill, keep the rpms way down, and don't stay in the same spot too long or you'll put a brown burn mark in the gel coat. Did that once.

A heat gun and a sharp scraper are your friends. The heat gun will loosen the adhesive on the vinyl and then you can get a scraper or razor edged scraper in underneath to peel it off.
