Napa has a spray gasket removal that will remove vinyl graphics w/o damage on filon siding. Spray a little area and let it set for 5 or 6 minutes that scrap it off, then wash quickly with soapy water.
Another thing that works is:
1. Ambient air temp must be over 80 and parked in direct sunlight.
2. Spray with a soapy mix - 1/2 dw soap and 1/2 water.
3. Cover area with black plastic. Let it sit for 3 or 4 hours in the
sunlight.
4. Remove plastic and scrap it off. Works well on small area.
Have also used steam, heat gun and 3M buffer wheels to remove graphics, I prefer the gasket spray for large areas and the soap and water for small areas.
No matter what method used, the outlines are still there. On our last boat took a small artist style paint brush and black and gold enamel paints and outlined the areas. It looked like it was made that way.
