Fiberglass Sealent and remove /prep

yes i know plenty of people have posted on similar post. I have a Fiberglass camper that I am looking to reseal all over the side panels. what's the best sealant to use (many say Flexseal Rv is good) and how do you remove the old sealant? other problem is how do you remove the sealant without damaging the vinyl graphics? all different people have suggested mineral spirits, wd-40, Caulk-Be-Gone Caulk Remover, goo-gone, acetone and other removals. which is best to use without damaging the graphics?

Reseal over the side panels?
I'm confused. Are you talking about gel coat?
A molded fiberglass trailer doesn't have a seal coating.

Is this the trailer that you are seeking advise for?

If so while your Rv has fiberglass walls, their construction is different than what type is generally discussed on this site. See the video below is see the differences.

Dicor self leveling sealant is what you want to use on a trailer with seams between panels.

Hope this helps
