Should penetrate through the sticker to the glue and loosen it up.

I used a drill with one of those brillo wheels on it, and covered the brillo wheel with a hand towel with some mineral spirits on it. Otherwise it would have been a lot of manual labor..

I have used it to remove stickers from soft plastic parts, and it seems to remove the stickers adheasive without harming the plastic. I have never used it on fiberglass, so you may want to test it in an unseen area first?

I use their junk all the time for one shot applications. If you were going to do a lot of them, I would invest in quality.
